Dhaka

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.

Jerome said...: Thanks for the beautiful photos of Dhaka and its surrounding areas. You have been doing a commendable job of introducing Dhaka to the world audience. Please keep up the good work.

I like to suggest that your captions of photos should answer the basic W's (who, what, where, when). Many of your viewers do not know Dhaka or do not live there. For their benefit your captions should be complete.

Thanks.; July 12, 2009 9:13 AM
