Dhamrai Upazila

Dhamrai Upazila is an administrative region in Bangladesh that spans across a large area bounded by several rivers. The territory comprises numerous villages connected by a network of roads and waterways.

The area became an independent administrative unit in 1914, separating from a previous governance structure. This transition marked a significant shift in the administrative history of Dhaka District.

The territory is home to multiple religious communities who coexist in the region, shaping local traditions and everyday life. This diversity influences the way people celebrate festivals and observe customs throughout the area.

The region is accessible from Dhaka within a reasonable travel time and has a developed infrastructure of roads and water routes. Visitors should note that conditions and accessibility may vary depending on the season and weather.

Craftspeople here master the art of lost wax casting, an ancient technique for creating decorative metal objects passed down through generations. This traditional skill makes the area known for its handcrafted metalwork.
