The Little Spot on Earth That Goes by the Name Bangladesh

The Little Spot on Earth That Goes by the Name Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a country in Southeast Asia, surrounded by India and bordering the Bay of Bengal. A country rich in cultural diversity, outstanding history and heritage, scenic beauty and amiable people, it isn’t called “Golden Bengal” without reason. 

 

 

Bangladesh offers the best of the best of all things. And culture is one of those things on the list. The music, dance and drama are sights to behold. The music and dance styles are of three types: classical, folk and modern. Among folk songs, Lalon, Bhatiali, Hasan Raja and the like are prevalent. Robindro Shongit and Nazrul Giti comprise the modern music category and are part of the heritage of Bangladesh. 

 


Other heritage sites are the Lalbagh Fort in Dhaka, Somapura Mahavihara in Pahalpur in Rajshahi, and Mahasthanagarh (an archaeological site) also in Rajshahi. Lalbagh Fort can be easily visited while staying at Hotel 71. Bangladesh has been blessed by nature to have a beauty that hypnotizes and amazes. The longest beach in Asia, Cox’s Bazar, is a popular tourist site. 

 

 

Dance cultures include styles from the Indian subcontinent like monipuri and santal dances. These can be enjoyed firsthand at Hotel 71’s Banquet Hall. Bangladesh has multiple heritage sites. The Mosque City of Bagherhat (also known as the Sixty Tomb Mosque) is a prime example located in Khulna division. 


 

The Sundarbans mangrove is the world’s largest mangrove ecosystem. The Bandarban district in Chittagong division has a selection of natural sites to view including waterfalls, lakes and the highest peak of Bangladesh. Sylhet also has natural wonders like Jaflong, Srimongol and beautiful tea gardens. The country is also known as the “Land of Rivers”. As the name suggests, rivers are numerous is Bangladesh. There are over 65 rivers in Bangladesh. A few of the major rivers are the Padma, Meghna and Jamuna rivers.

 

People in the country can only be described as diverse; diverse in religious views, political views, and cultural norms among others. The freedom of religion is what makes the country a free country. Muslims, Hindus, Christians and even Buddhists inhabit the beautiful land. While Muslims make up the majority, there are rarely conflicts between the religions. Females have freedom and rights now more than before. People eagerly look forward to occasions and holidays to celebrate.


And the staff of Hotel 71 will ensure that everything is in place during special events at the Hotel. Bangladesh is the geographical embodiment of the phrase “good things come in small packages”.
