Chuadanga District

Chuadanga District is an administrative region in western Bangladesh that borders West Bengal in India. The area is divided into four smaller administrative subdivisions and is mainly shaped by agricultural activities.

The area played an important role during the Liberation War against Pakistan and was declared the temporary capital in 1971. This decision marked a significant moment in the founding of modern Bangladesh.

Several historical religious buildings shape the area, including the Gholdari Jami Mosque, Chuadanga Bara Mosque, and Thakurpur Mosque dating from the 1600s. These structures remain active gathering places where locals and visitors can observe everyday spiritual life.

The area is connected by a network of main roads to neighboring regions Kushtia and Jessore. This accessibility makes it a transit area for travelers moving between different parts of western Bangladesh.

A notable feature is a spirit production facility that stands as the only one of its kind in the entire country. This manufacturing plant gives the area an unusual economic significance alongside its dominant agriculture.
