Summary
[edit]DescriptionAncient architectural style of Panam Nagar, Bangladesh.jpg |
English: The ancient architectural style of Panam Nagar, Bangladesh is known as the "Sonargaon style." Panam Nagar, located in the Sonargaon Upazila of Narayanganj District, was once a prosperous trading center during the medieval period. The architectural style of Panam Nagar reflects the influence of the Mughal and indigenous Bengali architectural traditions.
Panam Nagar was established by Hindu merchants during the late 19th century. The architectural style of the buildings in Panam Nagar is characterized by a combination of Mughal and Bengali features. The structures were primarily made of brick and terracotta, which were commonly used materials in the region. Some distinctive features of the Sonargaon style include: 1. Ornate Terracotta Facades: The buildings in Panam Nagar are renowned for their intricate terracotta ornamentation. The facades of the buildings are adorned with beautifully crafted terracotta plaques depicting various motifs, including floral patterns, animals, mythological figures, and scenes from daily life. 2. Curved and Decorated Roofs: The roofs of the buildings in Panam Nagar have distinct curved shapes and are often embellished with decorative elements such as finials and ornamental pinnacles. These elements add an elegant and artistic touch to the architecture. 3. Multi-arched Openings: The buildings feature multi-arched openings, such as doorways and windows, which are common in both Mughal and Bengali architectural styles. These arches provide a sense of grandeur and visual appeal to the structures. 4. Courtyards and Verandas: Many buildings in Panam Nagar have spacious courtyards and verandas. These open spaces serve as transitional areas between the interior and exterior, providing ventilation, natural light, and a place for social gatherings. 5. Jali Work: Jali, or lattice work, is often incorporated into the architecture of Panam Nagar. These delicate screens made of stone, brick, or wood are used to create decorative patterns and allow for airflow while maintaining privacy. 6. Central Courtyard Layout: The buildings are typically arranged around a central courtyard, which is a common feature in traditional Bengali architecture. This layout ensures privacy and promotes cross-ventilation within the buildings. The Sonargaon style of architecture seen in Panam Nagar showcases a unique blend of Mughal and Bengali influences, creating a distinct identity for this historic site in Bangladesh. |
