Mosque of  National Memorial

Hi, friend’s.  After a long time I’m writing on my blog. Today I’m going to tell something about the National Memorial of Bangladesh it is known as "Jatiyo Sriti Shoudho". The monument is located in Savar, about 35km north-west from Dhaka and not so far from Fantasy Kingdom. So you can visit The National Memorial and Fantasy Kingdom in a day.
 The National Memorial of Bangladesh  is dedicated to the sacred memory of the millions of unknown martyrs' of the war of liberation in 1971. The great leader of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman laid the foundation stone here at Savar on 16 December 1972. Master plane of the monument and other architecture drawing  of the complex  excepting main tower have been designed by the Architects of the department of Architecture,  Government of the people’s Republic of Bangladesh. Architect Syed Moinul Hossain has designed the main tower of the monument. The area of the monument and it’s compound is 34 hectares (84 acres) with a surrounding buffer  zone of additional 10 hectares (24 acres) green belt of planted bushes trees. The monument  with it’s pointed spire stand to speak of the victory and triumph and link the patriotic people, the shahid and the living freedom fighters in an eternal bond. The tower tapers upwards on seven isosceles triangles signifying the seven stages of the national movement that led to the independence of the country. The seeds of the movements sprouted through the struggle for the honour  of  the national language, Bangla in 1952 and there after grew in phases through the mass upheavals of 1954, 1958, 62, 66, 69 and eventually the liberation movement in 1971. The 45 meter (150 feet) high tower (minar) is at an important point of the monument complex. An artificial lake, a twin bridge, a reflecting pool and a picturesque garden surround the monument. The twin bridge crossing a canal leads to the most sacred part of the monument where ten mass graves of martyrs are preserved as marks of respect to the countless unknown freedom fighters who laid down their lives for their motherland. The complex also contains an open stage, reception room, mosque, green house, twin helipads and cafeteria. The construction of the monument started in 1972 and ended in June, 1988. Entire construction work has been done by the public works Department of the Government of Peoples Republic of Bangladesh.
