Rose Garden Palace

The Rose Garden Palace, located in Old Dhaka, Bangladesh, is a historic mansion and garden built in the late 19th century by Hindu zamindar Hrishikesh Das. Known for its extravagant parties, the mansion became the birthplace of the Awami League in 1949, marking a significant political development in the region. The architecture features elegant pavilions, a grand dance hall, and intricate designs, including colorful skylights and crystal chandeliers. After changing hands several times, the government of Bangladesh purchased the property in 2018 with plans to convert it into a museum, making it a potential attraction for tourists and researchers interested in the cultural and political history of Bangladesh.
