The Dhaka Times Desk Suddenly, a ghostly atmosphere was created. The noise of hundreds of people around Panama City. On the one hand, the haunted environment, on the other hand, interest in the tradition. Various events are going on.
Everyone has come to see the tradition of Bangladesh. About hundreds of architects from 21 countries of The Architects Regional Council Asia (ARCAsia) came to see the tradition. They were fascinated and enjoyed the Bengali culture as well as gaining knowledge about the city of Panam.
There is a quiet environment around. Two people on the way to the dead city. Dead noise and unspoken history are intertwined in every brick of this city. The ruined buildings and structures standing witness to time on both sides of the road always tell of the lost joys. But the light has become bright today.
About 450 years ago, how prosperous this city was, the two- and three-story buildings on both sides of the road make us think again and again. Walking on the road of Panam Nagar, it seems that I have come to the era of Isha Khan. Some kind of mystery is involved in this place. Each ruin has a story attached to it. Even though it is a ruin, it has no shortage of charm. One cannot help but be impressed by the architectural style of the buildings.
Currently, there is only one paved road that tourists visit in Panama City. There are 52 buildings on both sides of this 600 meter long and 5 meter wide road. The buildings have a touch of local architecture but are mainly built in a mixture of European and Mughal architectural styles. There are buildings from one floor to three floors. The walls of the building are also quite wide. The walls are made of bricks of various shapes and surki.
The wall decoration of several buildings is worth seeing. Various designs are painted, colored glass, stone, clay, porcelain, terracotta are used for these decorations. The floors of most of the buildings have been destroyed, but a few survive, especially those housing the Ansar. Most of the floors are red-white-black mosaics and several have black-white marble.
According to historian James Taylor, Arang's looms were located at Sonargaon Panam. This is Panam Nagar, a famous market for muslin art.
Note that The Architects Regional Council Asia (ARCAsia) is composed of the presidents of the national institutions of architects of the member countries. Member organizations work to expand regional activities and relationships. It was established in 1967 in New Delhi, India. Its current president is Rita Soh. Currently the 21 member countries are Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Korea and Mongolia.
