Ahead of the main gate, a tomb in front of the eye, a parlor of Bibi Tomb.He was the daughter of Subedar Shaista Khar of Bengal. Apart from Eli Bibi, there was another name for her, Rahmat Banu.
Many people thought that Paribah was beautiful like her before seeing Bibi. That's why his name was named Fairy Bibi. Of course, this princess of Aprupa is the premature death. She became helpless, her elderly father, Shaista Khan, The father could not cope with the premature death of the father. He thought of 'Apaya' in the rage and sadness of Lalbagh Kella

Later, Eli was buried in the inside of the fort. The structure of a Mughal architecture that was built on its final bed, is one of the finest beauties of Mughal architecture in Dhaka.
Three structures are seen in the middle of the fort with the same straight line. The middle of it is the parade of Bibi Tomb. Shaista Khan brought black basalt stone from far away rajmahal. The white marmalade stones brought big blades from Jaipur. These brought the tomb for the construction of the tomb. White sandalwood brought the wood and arches to build. The tombs of the tomb are laid down. The design is cut on it. Different parts of the tomb are constructed with floral designs and tiles. These things have been silent for hundreds of years, because of the deep pain of father-in-law.
In 1704, when the governance of Bengal shifted to Murshidabad, the importance of Lalbagh as a fort was reduced. In 1844 a semi-government institution called Dhaka Committee started the development work of the fort. During this time the fort was known as Lalbagh Fort. In February 1910 Lalbagh fort walls were brought under the welfare department.
Finally, after almost 300 years of construction, in the 1980s, the Lalbagh fort was rehabilitated as soon as possible and it was exposed to the visitors.
At present, the Archeology Department of Bangladesh Government maintains the fort.

The painful father dumped the gold dome of the daughter's tomb. But sadly, that gold plate is no longer there. At one time, when the light of the sun shines on this golden plate, it shines. Now the black dome that is seen is covered with copper or brass sheet.
