Mughal Emperor Azam Shah built the first Lalbagh Fort. After a few days, when Azam Shah went to Delhi, the work on Lalbagh Fort was stopped for some days. Azam Shah was the son of Emperor Aurangzeb's son, Emperor Shah Jahan. Nawab Shaista Khan later built Lalbagh Fort. Towards the end of the construction of Lalbagh Fort, Shaista Khan's daughter Paribibi died. Paribibi was buried inside Lalbagh Fort. The beauty of the fort was enhanced by building a dome over Paribibi's grave.

Mr. @mahadisalim brother, you have visited Lalbagh Fort in Dhaka and are highlighting the old monuments there in simple language and you are highlighting all the things like when it was built and which emperor built it. It is good that you are highlighting the things you have visited.
Your post gives a complete glimpse of Lalbagh Fort, from its historical significance to modern-day visitor facilities. I especially enjoyed learning about the mosque, Hammamkhana, and Paribibi’s grave. Many of my relatives recently visited Dhaka for business, and they also praised the city to me over the phone. The way you combined history, travel tips, and personal photos makes it very relatable and informative for tourists.
