Lalbagh Fort

The Mughal sovereign Muhammad Azam, third child of Aurangzeb began crafted by the post in 1678 amid his bad habit eminence in Bengal. He remained in Bengal for 15 months. The stronghold stayed deficient when he was summoned by his dad Aurangzeb. 

Shaista Khan was the new subahdar of Dhaka in that time, and he didn't finish the stronghold. In 1684, the little girl of Shaista Khan named Iran Dukht Pari Bibi passed on there. After her demise, he began to think the fortification as unfortunate, and left the structure incomplete.Among the three noteworthy pieces of Lalbagh Fort, one is the tomb of Pari Bibi. 

After Shaista Khan left Dhaka, it lost its prevalence. The fundamental driver was that the capital was moved from Dhaka to Murshidabad. After the finish of the imperial Mughal period, the fortification wound up relinquished. In 1844, the zone procured its name as Lalbagh supplanting Aurangabad, and the fortress moved toward becoming Lalbagh Fort.

For long the fortress was viewed as a mix of three structures (the mosque, the tomb of Bibi Pari and the Diwan-I-Aam), with two portals and a segment of the incompletely harmed stronghold divider. Ongoing unearthings completed by the Department of Archeology of Bangladesh have uncovered the presence of different structures. 

The southern fortress divider has an immense bastion in the southwestern corner. On the north of the south stronghold divider were the utility structures, stable, organization square, and its western part obliged a wonderful rooftop garden with courses of action for wellsprings and a water store. The private part was situated on the east of the west stronghold divider, chiefly toward the southwest of the mosque. 

The fortress divider on the south had five bastions at customary interims two stories in stature, and

the western divider had two bastions; the greatest one is close to the fundamental southern door. The bastions had an underground passage. 

The focal territory of the fortification is involved by three structures – the Diwan-I-Aam and the hammam on its east, the Mosque on the west and the Tomb of Pari Bibi in the middle of the two – in one line, however not at an equivalent separation. A water channel with wellsprings at standard interims interfaces the three structures  from east to west and north to south.

Diwan-I-Aam 

Diwan-I-Aam is a two storied living arrangement of the Mughal legislative head of Bengal situated on the east side of the complex.A single storied hammam is joined on its west. The hammam divide has an underground space for bubbling water. A long segment divider keeps running along the western veneer of the hammam. 

The structure is arranged around 39 meters (136') toward the west of the tank, running from north to south. The outside estimations of the structure are 32.47m x 8.18m (107' x 29'). 

There are living quarters on each dimension of two stories and a primary focal corridor interfacing them. There is a Hammamkhana (Bathhouse) in the southern piece of the structure which is one of the seventh Hammamkhana as yet existing in remains in the legacy of Bangladesh. 

Ongoing unearthings (1994– 2009) demonstrate that there was an extraordinary room beneath the room of Hammamkhana, where archeologists found the courses of action for warming water, providing the heated water just as cool water to the Hammamkhana through the earthenware channels which was extraordinarily fabricated for such reason. The revelation of dark spots in the underground room evidence that fire had been utilized to warm the water for the Hammamkhana. There was likewise a can room by the side of Hammamkhana. 

All the structure alongside the game plans of Hammamkhana unmistakably demonstrates that it was particularly being used by the Subadar of Bengal and that Subadar was Shaista Khan. From the report of the Governor of English Factory it was found out that Shaista Khan used to live in this room and a few Europeans were kept in authority here. 

A water tank 

A square molded water tank (71.63m on each side) is put toward the east of the Diwan-I-Aam. There are four corner stairs to plunge into the tank. 

The Tomb of Pari Bibi 

The tomb of Bibi Pari, the little girl of Shaista Khan, is amidst the complex. There is a focal square room. It contains the remaining parts of Bibi Pari secured by a bogus octagonal vault and wrapped by metal plate.The whole internal divider is secured with white marble. Eight rooms encompass the focal one. There is another little grave in the southeastern corner room. 

Lalbagh Fort Mosque 

The mosque has three vaults, and is moderately little for a huge site, with a water tank for ablutions in front.

From the season of development till date, different fantasies have spun around the fortress. Among all the verifiable stories and discussions, it is broadly trusted that Lalbagh Fort remains as a landmark of the unfulfilled dreams of Prince Muhammad Azam, adored child of Emperor Aurangzeb. In the mid seventeenth century, he was filling in as the Viceroy of Bengal and started the development of the noteworthy Lalbagh Fort complex. 

In this way, the famous anecdotes about the fortification start. Before the development was done, Prince Azam was gotten back to his dad, to aid the war against the Marathas. Legend says after the Mughal ruler withdrew, Shaista Khan proceeded with structure the task, however upon the inconvenient passing of his much-adored little girl Iran-Dukht, heartily known as Pari Bibi, the development was halted. Bibi was locked in to Prince Azam at the season of her passing. 

There are likewise legends and discussions about the personality of Pari Bibi. Hardly any scientists guarantee she was a nine-year-old Ahom princess. Mir Jumals Ahom's undertaking brought a war bordering the Garo slopes. He took the girl of Ahom Raja to urge him for the full execution of the past harmony arrangement. Afterward, the head made her proselyte to Islam and wedded her off to ruler Azam. In any case, eclipsing every one of the discussions, individuals currently trust that she was the adoring girl of Nawab Shaista Khan.
