Rangpur District, Administrative district in Northern Bangladesh

Rangpur District is an administrative area in northern Bangladesh situated between the Teesta and Ghaghot rivers. The landscape is shaped by fertile alluvial soils that support extensive agricultural activity.

The area came under Mughal rule in 1575 and remained an important administrative center during British governance. It maintained its role as a significant administrative hub following Bangladesh independence.

The region features traditional folk performances with music and dance as central elements. Islamic and Hindu communities celebrate together throughout the year, creating shared cultural moments.

The region connects to major urban centers through Saidpur Airport, railway lines, and national highways. Visitors can find transportation options readily available throughout the area.

The district houses the restored Tajhat Palace, which blends Indo-European architectural styles and heritage. The palace contains a museum displaying regional artifacts that reflect local architectural history.
