Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, well known as city of fine muslin, mosques and rickshaws has a fairly long history of evolution. Before it rose into prominence as Mughal capital of Bengal in 17th century and urban & commercial centre, it was under the Sultanates from 14 century. It came under British control in 1757. Dhaka with passage of time testify different faces of history. Photographs and digital archives are the most effective ways that can keep visual records of its colourful history.
This is a spectacular site. I just returned to the US after a visit to Dhaka, and your photos are really a fantastic snapshot of a rapidly changing country. Every year the city seems to morph and change, and I love it.
THANK YOU so very much for carefully documenting Dhaka in a way that has never been done.
I wonder if you would be able to attach information about the history or other interesting facts about the area and turn this into a book/travel guide.
As it is, you have done some great work here. THANK YOU. Dhonnobad!
are the birds arriving or leaving?
ReplyDeletethe colour adjusting of two pics took away some aesthetics of the surrounding, maybe leave them as they are.
