Chandrima Uddan

Chandrima Uddan, Public park in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Chandrima Uddan, also called Zia Udyan, is a 73-acre park in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka, across from the National Parliament Building. It contains the grave complex of Ziaur Rahman and Khaleda Zia, a crescent-shaped lake, and a suspended bridge over the lake.

The land was long used as cattle farm, khas land and farmland before Ziaur Rahman was buried here on 1 June 1981, after a funeral at Manik Mia Avenue. The site was cleared and turned into a park, and the burial complex was begun in December 2002 by the Ministry of Housing and Public Works. Khaleda Zia was buried beside him in 2025.

The park's name has shifted with politics: it was renamed Zia Udyan after Khaleda Zia became prime minister, changed back to Chandrima Udyan by the Awami League in 1996, and returned to Zia Udyan after the August 2024 change of government. Visitors still use both names. The burial complex of Ziaur Rahman and Khaleda Zia is the focus of daily visits.

The park offers parking facilities and public restrooms for visitors. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to visit when crowds are smaller and the weather is more comfortable.

The suspended bridge over Crescent Lake cost 35 crore taka and opened on 7 November 2004, inaugurated by President Iajuddin Ahmed and Prime Minister Khaleda Zia. Its deck carries 31 mm tempered glass panes over a single reinforced concrete arch, and 30 lights beneath the deck scatter coloured light onto the walkway after dark.
