One Picture One Story-"Panam Nagar-Archaeological city"

Hello dear Steamian friends,

Panam Nagar, a landmark of the historical city located in the Sonargaon area of ​​Narayanganj. It was an ancient settlement in Bangladesh in the 13th century. This area was once the capital of Bengal. With the change of time, everything has changed. Today, I will discuss a little about that ancient city.

Panam Nagar originated in the 13th century; at that time, it was a prosperous commercial center and residence. It is said that it was the residence of the aristocratic families of that time. If you observe the buildings of Panam Nagar, you can see three distinct features in their structures. Just as there is the design of the Mughal Empire, there is also the construction techniques of the British colonialists and the development of their own talents. If you look at each door and window of the structures, you can see the cusp molding above the window, the ogee-shaped windows, the rectangular facade panels, the floral designs, and the small niches with pointed arches that remind you of the memories of the past.
There are a total of 52 structures in Panam Nagar, which were usually used by people of Hindu landlord families. All the structures were 2-3 storeys high. 31 of these structures faced north, and 21 buildings faced south.
With the change of time, Panam Nagar was destroyed. The people also disappeared. The buildings became unusable. The dilapidated Panam Nagar was once taken over by the Archaeological Department. It was declared a historical monument. It is still being managed under this Archaeological Department. Most of the building walls have been destroyed, the plaster has fallen off, and in some places, the buildings are collapsing on their own. The Archaeological Department is carrying out some renovations while keeping the original structure intact.
Currently, the place is crowded with visitors. Many tourists from home and abroad come to visit the historical place. They are amazed by the old buildings here.
Today, Panam Nagar is our national treasure, with great historical value. We should all come forward to protect such famous archaeological sites.
