Senakunja, Military convention center in Dhaka Cantonment, Bangladesh
Senakunja is a military convention center in Dhaka Cantonment with a spacious hall that accommodates up to 1200 people and features a specialized stage for events. The complex offers air-conditioned spaces, a modern kitchen, separate restrooms, and parking for approximately 500 vehicles.
The complex underwent major renovation in the late 2010s, expanding its capacity from the original 450 to 1200 seats. This modernization made the building a larger and better-equipped venue for the region.
The walls of the complex display terracotta artworks that hold national meaning and show local history along with faces of people from the region. These visual elements shape the character of the space and tell of the nation's identity.
The venue is centrally located in Dhaka Cantonment and is easy to reach by car or other transport. Visitors find parking, restrooms, and air-conditioned areas that make the stay comfortable.
Senakunja hosts the annual Armed Forces Day event on 21 November, marking the 1971 founding of the Bangladesh military during the War of Independence. The same venue also holds an annual Iftar party organised by the armed forces and attended by the country's high-level officials.
