Temples in Sonargaon

Last time when we went to the Panam City two temples could be seen inside the village. So, we couldn’t see the full structures, only the top of them could be seen. We attempted to reach the temples, but as it was rainy season the fields between Panam City and the temples were full of water. SO, we failed. 

This time we planned to pay a visit to Sonargaon and to try again to reach the temples. Yes, his time it is winter so the fields were dry. We could easily find out a way to reach the temples.

We found the nearer temple an ordinary one. But when we reached the other one, we were really amazed finding such a beautiful temple inside the village. The temple was about two feet upper than ground level and there were stairs. There were two doors. One is an ordinary one but the other wooden door had an uncommon design. It was really beautiful!!!

The Panam City

Sonargaon is the ancient capital of Isa Khan’s kingdom in East-Bengal. At present it lies 17 miles north-east to Dhaka near the city of Narayanganj. It was one of the best mint-towns of the independent Sultans of Bengal.

Panam City was the center of the upper-middle-class people of Sonargaon in 19th century. Mainly Hindu cloth merchants lived here.

Panam city is one of the most enticing historical places near Dhaka city. I paid visit to Panam City several times and each time I entered the narrow street of Panam City, it made me feel to enter a place of history, it made me feel to go back to the past.
Last time, about three months ago, I paid a visit to Panam City with some of my friends who wanted to take photographs and enjoy the site of ancient structures and history. We took rickshaws to go there from the main road of Sonargaon. As we were going through the village streets, from far distance one of the ancient buildings could be seen that caught my eyes. We started taking photographs and when the rickshaw stopped in front of the building we were very astonished finding a sign board of a poultry farm there on the wall of that building !!!!
