Around a couple of months ago, the age-old Dhaka Gate near Doyel Chattar was unveiled to the public upon its renovation. If you visit the Gate, now in renewed glory, you are bound to see an imposing artefact in its premises -- a cannon called Bibi Mariam.
This old image portraying Dhaka Gate has a rustic vibe — with the grass and pathway and the elephants.
Once upon a time, it used to mark the terminus of the largest city of undivided Bengal; currently it lies uncared for, surrounded by bushes, covered by posters, in a shadowy corner of Dhaka University campus.
Mir Jumla Gate, popularly known as Dhaka Gate, remains uncared for as years pass by. Abandoned, time is eating away the magnificent Mughal architecture now - hiding in plain sight.
