Lalbagh Fort

Lalbagh Fort is a Mughal-era fort complex situated in the old city of Dhaka, in the neighbourhood historically called Lalbagh (meaning "Red Garden"). Construction of the complex was begun under Prince Muhammad Azam Shah and continued under Shaista Khan, the Mughal Subahdar of Bengal. The enclosure includes typical Mughal architectural elements, a mosque, and a burial mausoleum. Historically notable is the death and burial of Shaista Khan's daughter, Pari Bibi, within the fort complex. Contemporary and later sources state that Shaista Khan regarded the event as a bad omen and halted further construction, an action in the historical record attributed to his superstition rather than to any documented physical phenomenon. The supplied sources do not provide further details on the fort's modern management, restoration status, or public accessibility. The provided research materials do not contain contemporary reports of hauntings, apparitions, poltergeist activity, or named supernatural entities associated with Lalbagh Fort. The only folkloric or superstition-related element present in the sources is the recorded belief by Shaista Khan that the site had brought a bad omen following his daughter's death; this is presented in historical narrative rather than as a documented paranormal occurrence.
