Moder Gorob, Bronze memorial sculpture at Bangla Academy, Bangladesh.
The Moder Gorob features five metal figures on a base with a rising wall decorated with relief sculptures depicting the Language Movement.
The memorial commemorates the 1952 Bengali Language Movement martyrs who were killed while protesting for Bengali language recognition in East Pakistan.
This sculpture includes representations of Abdus Salam, Rafiq Uddin Ahmed, Abdul Jabbar, Shafiur Rahman, and Abul Barkat on its main structure.
Visitors can access the memorial during the Bangla Academy operating hours, with increased attendance during February's Ekushey Book Fair.
The wall structure incorporates detailed frescoes on both sides, completed in 2007 through combined funding from GrameenPhone and Bangla Academy.
