A Visit To National Martyrs' Monument || A Global Historical Monument In Bangladesh

The National Memorial is a memorial to the martyrs of the Bangladesh Liberation War, located in Savar, Dhaka. Among the considerable monuments in the history of the Bengali nation, this monument has to be mentioned individually. This memorial is so significant that it has been given national status. There are some mass graves in the National Memorial. The memorial area witnessed the brutality of the Pakistani forces. Those who were martyred in the liberation war are lying in these graves.

I visited the National Memorial twice. I visited the National Memorial once with my family while I was a child. Then there was an opportunity to enter the inner area of the National Memorial. The next opportunity to catch a glimpse of this national monument was in 2021. At that time, there was a ban on public access to the National Memorial due to the Corona epidemic. The National Memorial had to be visited from outside due to entry restrictions. Originally there was no purpose to visit the memorial. Our main objective was to spend time at Fantasy Kingdom Park. But we reached there before the scheduled opening time of the park. And so instead of waiting in front of the park, we went to see the memorial. However, the memorial was not visited properly.

However, without going inside the memorial, I zoomed through my smartphone camera and took several pictures. It is a national establishment, and so everything here is designed systemically. Many foreign tourists come to visit the National Monument. And so the interior surroundings are arranged in such a way that one will be impressed. There are many plants around the entire memorial area. I have shared some pictures below, where you can see many plants and a road. This beautiful site of the memorial can be seen from the sidewalk outside. The green environment that has been developed in the memorial area through tree planting is truly mesmerizing.

This monument has a lot of significance for Bengalis. This memorial has a lot of significance due to remembering the great sacrifice of the martyrs during the liberation war, remembering the important seven consecutive stages of the freedom movement through the special architecture of the memorial, etc.
