My dear fellow friends!
Last time I said I would give detailed information about our national memorial. I'm keeping my word. Now I'm going to talk about it.
Does anyone know about the National Memorial of Bangladesh? Anyone?
I think very few people know, again no one may know.
So what is a national memorial?👇👇
A memorial is a monument built as a symbol of victory in a battle or to commemorate the casualties of a battle.
The UK's War Memorial Trust thinks that ‘various scriptures and myths, including the Bible, mention the construction of monuments or similar monuments. Historians believe that each monument is a single brick in the wall of history. It also has a purpose to identify the place where the incident took place.
History behind Bangladesh National Memorial
The glorious history of Bangladesh is the history of long struggle. In 1971, Bangladesh gained independence at the cost of countless lives in a bloody nine-month war. The National Memorial is a memorial dedicated to the memory of those martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the rise of freedom. Located in Savar, Dhaka, this memorial is a brilliant monument to the immense sacrifices of the martyrs of the War of Liberation.
Architecture and significance of the National Memorial
The National Memorial is established as a shining example of the nation's respect for the martyrs of the Liberation War. The monument and its precincts cover an area of 34 hectares (64 acres). There is also a green belt of trees covering an area of 10 hectares (24 acres) that surrounds it.
The minaret is 45 meters (150.00 feet) high and is located at an important point in the premises of the National Martyrs Memorial. The minaret is surrounded by artificial lakes and gardens. There are ten mass graves of anonymous martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the motherland in the premises of the memorial. There are also open stage, reception room, mosque, helipad, cafeteria in the premises of the memorial.
The total area of the memorial premises is*** 64 acres***. The monument is surrounded by a green belt of trees covering an area of 24 acres. The height of the memorial is 150 feet. The monument consists of seven pairs of triangular walls. The walls indicate seven successive stages of Bangladesh's independence movement.
Almost everyone knows that the history of our liberation war is tied with the thread of victory and abandonment at the same time. The Bengali nation has always been interested in expressing the glory of their liberation war.
Therefore, the National Memorial of Bangladesh has been built as a suitable symbol of the struggle and victory of the liberation war. But it stands proudly that the National Library, every year on Independence Day and Victory Day where the footsteps of the President, Prime Minister, government ministers and other dignitaries fall, is commemorated through the colorful parade of the armed forces and the heads of state or government of different countries. In fact, as a memento of the visit to the national memorial to pay homage to the national heroes, they planted saplings of various trees in the premises of the memorial.
Hope that the above information has helped you to know at least something about the National Memorial of Bangladesh.👍👍
No more today.
