Mausoleum of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman

Mausoleum of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, National mausoleum in Tungipara Upazila, Bangladesh.

The Mausoleum of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is a memorial site in Tungipara featuring red ceramic walls, black and white marble work, and gardens across a large grounds. The complex holds several buildings including a museum, a library, and the original family residence.

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was assassinated on 15 August 1975 and buried the next day in Tungipara beside his parents, with access to the grave restricted for years. Architects Ehsan Khan, Ishtiaque Jahir and Iqbal Habib were commissioned in 1995 and selected in 1996; construction began in 1998, the foundation stone was laid on 17 March 1999, and the complex opened on 10 January 2001.

The entrance stone bears Syed Fakhruddin Mahmud's 1984 poem "Ekti Omor Somadhi" (An Immortal Tomb), beginning "Stop wayfarer". Ceremonies are held on 26 March (Independence Day), 16 December (Victory Day), 17 March (Mujib's birthday) and 15 August (National Mourning Day), and foreign dignitaries pay respects during tours.

The grounds are easy to navigate on foot, with pathways leading through gardens and between the various buildings. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and allow enough time to see all areas of the complex.

The entrance gate carries a verse from Syed Fakhruddin Mahmud's 1984 poem "Ekti Omor Somadhi" (An Immortal Tomb), beginning "Stop wayfarer". The museum keeps the coffin that carried Mujib's body to Tungipara by helicopter in 1975.
