Narayanganj, Bangladesh - September 19, 2015: Hajiganj Fort at Hajiganj in Narayanganj, on the western bank of the Sitalakshya River. It is a water fort and it was built just at the point where the old Buriganga discharged into the Sitalakshya. It may have been built soon after Subadar Islam Khan established the Mughal capital at Dhaka and it was intended to counter the raids of the Magh and Portuguese pirates.
