Mausoleum of Three Leaders, Memorial monument in Shahbag, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The Mausoleum of Three Leaders is a memorial structure in Shahbag with a distinctive hyperbolic paraboloid roof sheltering three underground burial chambers below. The monument sits within a spacious park area accessible from nearby Doel Square and the University of Dhaka campus.

A. K. Fazlul Huq, Khwaja Nazimuddin and Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, all former Prime Ministers of Bengal, are buried beside the East Pakistan High Court. Huq died in 1962 and was buried there after a funeral at Paltan Maidan attended by about 100,000 people; Suhrawardy and Nazimuddin were interred next to him in 1963 and 1964. Plans for a mausoleum began in 1962, but construction was completed only in 1986, under President Hussain Muhammad Ershad.

The three leaders buried here—A. K. Fazlul Huq, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy and Khwaja Nazimuddin—each served as Prime Minister of Bengal and were rivals in life. The site is officially called the Three National Leaders' Shrine, and visitors can see replicas of the three graves beneath the monument, while the actual tombs lie underground.

The monument can be entered through two different access points with specific visiting hours that are best checked beforehand. The grounds are well-marked and easy to navigate on foot, especially when approaching from the nearby university area or Doel Square.

The monument was designed by architects Masud Ahmad and S. A. Zahiruddin, and its folded concrete forms are an interpretation of Islamic arches. Visitors descend underground to reach the three tombs, while replicas of the graves stand at ground level beneath the structure.
