Chandrima Uddan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chandrima Uddan (sometimes called Zia Uddan) is a park situated in the road beside the Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban, in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The name literally means "Moonlight Park" in Bengali.

The park is notable for being the place where the former Bangladeshi President, Ziaur Rahman was buried. It is connected to the road with a bridge which runs over the Crescent Lake. The park is a common place to spend leisure time in the vicinity.

Due to political reasons, the park was named Zia Uddan for some time in the past, and this name is still very well known among citizens.
