Bangabhaban

The Bangabhaban (Bengali: বঙ্গভবন, romanised: Bôngobhôbôn, lit. 'House of Bengal') is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of Bangladesh, located on Bangabhaban Road, and short road connecting Dilkusha Avenue, Dhaka. It is surrounded by the Bangabhaban Gardens, which was formerly the Nawab's Dilkusha Gardens. The palace was originally built as a government house of the British Empire. Following the independence of Pakistan, it became the official residence of the governor of East Bengal and, after 1955, the governor of East Pakistan.

President Abu Sayeed Chowdhury became the first Bangladeshi president to reside there after taking oath on 12 January 1972. The President Guard Regiment unit is responsible for the palace's security.
