Lalbagh Fort( also Fort Aurangabad) is an deficient 17th- century Mughal  stronghold complex that stands before the Buriganga River in the southwestern part of Dhaka, Bangladesh. 

The construction was started in 1678 announcement by Mughal Subahdar Muhammad Azam Shah who was the son of Emperor Aurangzeb and  latterly emperor himself. His successor, Shaista Khan, didn't continue the work, though he stayed in Dhaka up to 1688. 

History of Lalbagh Fort

South gate of the  stronghold painted by Johan Zoffany in 1787. The Mughal  Emperor Muhammad Azam, third son of Aurangzeb started the work of the  stronghold in 1678 during his vice-royalty in Bengal. He stayed in Bengal for 15 months. The  stronghold remained deficient when he was called down by his father Aurangzeb.

Shaista Khan was the new subahdar of Dhaka in that time, and he didn't complete the  stronghold. In 1684, the son of Shaista Khan named Iran Dukht Pari Bibi  failed there. After her death, he started to  suppose the  stronghold as unlucky, and left the structure deficient. Among the three major  corridor of Lalbagh Fort, one is the  grave of Pari Bibi.  After Shaista Khan left Dhaka, it lost its fashionability. The main cause was that the capital was moved from Dhaka to Murshidabad. After the end of the royal Mughal period, the  stronghold came abandoned. In 1844, the area acquired its name as Lalbagh replacing Aurangabad, and the  stronghold came Lalbagh Fort. 

 Structures of Lalbagh Fort

For long the  stronghold was considered to be a combination of three  structures( the synagogue , the grave of Bibi Pari and the Diwan- i- Aam), with two gateways and a portion of the  incompletely damaged bastion wall. Recent excavations carried out by the Department of Archaeology of Bangladesh have revealed the actuality of other structures. 

The southern bastion wall has a huge  fortification in the southwestern corner. On the north of the southern bastion wall were the  mileage  structures, stable, administration block, and its western part accommodated a beautiful roof-  theater  with arrangements for cradles and a water  force. The domestic part was located on the east of the west bastion wall,  substantially to the southwest of the synagogue . The bastion wall on the south had five  fortifications at regular intervals two stories in height, and the western wall had two  fortifications; the biggest one is near the main southern gate. The  fortifications had an lair. 

The central area of the  stronghold is  enthralled by three  structures- the Diwan- i- Aam and the hammam on its east, the Mosque on the west, and the Tomb of Pari Bibi in between the two in one line, but not at an equal distance. A water channel with cradles at regular intervals connects the three  structures from east to west and north to south.
