Sonargaon, Panama City is located half a kilometer away from the Folk and Handicraft Museum. It is also known as the "Lost City". The architecture of the city of Panama is unique and its urban planning is impeccable and secure. It was originally the focal point and residence of the weavers of the Bengal region. From this place traders used to conduct weaving business in different parts of the country. Panam is a place of pilgrimage for the promotion and trade of Bengal's muslin and other weaving industries.
Construction period: It is believed that the city of Panama began to be established about four hundred years ago. The city of Panama is now in the process of being re-established over a period of about four hundred years, gradually merging with the Mughal architectural style and the British architectural style.
Construction style: The predominance of the Mughal architectural style can be noticed in the city of Panam. However, it later shows a combination of British or colonial architecture. It is not a city drawn in a table and every house in this city is different in size and design. So it shows the impression of Bengali's own construction strategy. So the construction style of this city is unique. It can rightly be called Panam Style. The main feature of the city plan of the city of Panama is that it is surrounded by a lake or canal and is surrounded by a secure gate. The gates were closed before evening so that the inhabitants of the city could lead a safe life.
The city of Panama was mainly inhabited by traders and zamindars. In addition to this, for the kings and emirs, in the city of Panam and its surrounding villages, elaborate buildings were built. Surrounding Panama and its environs was a prosperous public life from the fifteenth century until World War II. Buildings, inns, mosques, temples, monasteries, temples, baths, wells, dance halls, treasuries, mints, courtrooms, secret passages, wide walls, amusements, etc. were built on both sides of the narrow road. A 400-year-old monastery can be seen in the city of Panama.
The Pankhiraj Canal flows past Panam. This canal touches the important buildings of Panam and merges with the Meghna River through the Menikhali River to the east. The city of Panama was a huge muslin arena. The fame of the fine arts developed around Panama spread beyond the subcontinent to the west. According to James Taylor, the loom of Arang was at a place called Panam in Sonargaon and the town of Panam was a famous market for the muslin industry. There are one-story, two-story and three-story buildings on both sides of a 5 meter wide and 600-meter long road in Panama. There are also about 52 buildings. There are 31 buildings on the north side and 21 buildings on the south side of the road that goes through the city of Panama.
How to get there: From Dhaka, you have to take a bus to the Mograpara bus stand in Sonargaon. The fare for bus service is 25-45 rupees. From Mograpara you can reach Panam city by rickshaw/autorickshaw for 10-20 rupees. However, if the tourists wish, they can visit the Sonargaon Folk and Handicraft Museum and reach Panama in 5 minutes on foot.
