Resembling remnants of an abandoned structure, this portion of Dhaka Gate, an iconic part of Dhaka’s Mughal history dating back over 400 years, lies in shambles. Popularly believed to have been erected by Subedar Mir Jumla II in the mid-17th century as the northern entry point to Dhaka, after its reestablishment as the capital of Bengal. It is thought to have been rebuilt in 1825 by British Magistrate Charles Dawes. However, little appears to have been done to preserve this piece of history. The photo was taken recently.
