The urban district was abandoned after a series of racial riots, sparked throughout Bengal Divide in 1947. after the 1965 India-Pakistan war, the neighborhood of the Hindu merchandiser was finally deserted.
The abandonment of Panam Nagar was later exposed to threats of flooding, vandalism, unauthorized occupation, legal proceeding by illegal occupants, illegal development, poor maintenance, and earthquakes. Presently the Department of archeology has declared the world a heritage site. sadly, budgets for maintenance and development as a traveler site is absent.
Panam Nagar seems to be protected by artificial canals all around. 2 fairly wide canals run parallel to the road on its either aspect and joined by a slim canal on the western side over that is that the entrance bridge (Panam Nagar Bridge). On the eastern side, the canal on the south serves rightward and goes eastward crossing the north-south road that passes through the Panam bazar.
Panam Nagar has four types of building I noticed. Such as the center hall type, center courtyard type, consolidate type and compartment type.
Where is ancient Panam City?
Panam town (Panam Nagar) is thirty-four km far away from the capital of Bangladesh and within the south-east region. it'll take a 1-hour 26-minute drive to reach there. the town is in Narayanganj District in Dhaka Division. Here, we'll point out some history, gift condition and most importantly a way to visit Panam City!
How To Go silent Panam city
You can get into a right away bus heading to Narayanganj from Gulistan within the capital, Dhaka. it'll drop you at Mograpara point close to the Sonargaon musjid. This journey will take an approximately one-hour half-hour. From there, you can rent a battery-driven auto-rickshaw which can take you to Panam Nagar within ten minutes.
There are several Buses moving towards Sonargaon from Dhaka. Some of those are mentioned below-
1.Sonargaon Express
2.Borak Paribohon
Departing from Gulistan
History in brief
Bengal ruler Isa Khan named Sonargaon his capital within the fifteenth century. it had been a port and trading purpose throughout that time since Sitalkshya stream lies beside the town. today Panam Nagar covers the twenty-kilometer space of Sonargaon. At that time the town was enriched with Mughal architectural beauties like monuments, vital offices, and mosques. This town connects the renowned historical Grand trunk road of 2,500 km.
Things to do
We would prefer to recommend you to start out walking from the western part of the Panam town, so move forward to the eastern side till you reach the top of the town. this is often a really short path. thus you'll be able to move slowly by looking at the previous building structures.
