SAARC Fountain, Public fountain at Karwan Bazar intersection, Dhaka, Bangladesh
The SAARC Fountain rises 9.75 meters high with a diameter of 32 meters, featuring a steel structure and a reinforced cement concrete reservoir.
The fountain was constructed in 1985 to commemorate the inaugural summit of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation held in Dhaka.
Bangladeshi artist Nitun Kundu designed this steel monument to represent the cooperation between eight South Asian nations through architectural elements.
The fountain stands at the intersection of Panthapath, Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue, and Sonargaon Road, near the Pan Pacific Sonargaon hotel.
The structure serves as a central meeting point in one of Dhaka's largest wholesale market areas, where vendors sell traditional goods and crafts.
