This evening (14 April), a spectacular and unique drone show is lighting up the sky in front of the National Parliament on Manik Mia Avenue, celebrating the spirit of Pahela Baishakh!
Hi @majidhossain1!
I noticed that you posted three times on the same topic, and all of them only included photographs. In order to keep the forum clean and tidy, I’m merging the last two posts into this one, as they cover the same topic.
It’s important to mention that Connect encourages users to share more details about experiences like the ones you had, providing broader context about the event and, if possible, including links to the Google Play Store where the event you’re sharing took place. This will allow readers to have more information about your experience and the places you visit. Otherwise, this forum would simply become something similar to Instagram, which isn’t what Connect is all about.
If you want to edit the text or add more photos in your initial post, you can do so using the pencil icon at the end of your post.
If you have additional questions about how to edit your posts or other forum features, just leave a comment, and the community will be happy to help you.

These aren’t the same pictures — the drone show was captured part by part, showcasing different moments of the performance!
I didn’t mean all the pics are the same, but all the pics correspond to the same event.
To include all of them in the same post is the better for the readers.
It looks like a great event indeed, so thanks for sharing @majidhossain1!
Es espectacular, realmente algo diferente, y las fotos impresionantemente buenas, felicidades. Wow!
Excellent photos, fellow LG @majidhossain1
Photos are very impressive
However, we would have loved to have seen your videos…do you have videos, please?
If available, can you please post it… hope you will tag me.

The Bangladesh National Parliament House, designed by the legendary architect Louis I. Kahn, stands as one of the most iconic and architecturally significant buildings in South Asia — and arguably, the world. Completed in 1982, this masterpiece blends modernist design with profound cultural symbolism, reflecting both functionality and aesthetics in every aspect.
Architectural Brilliance
The building’s geometric structure, bold concrete facade, and play of light and shadow are mesmerizing. Its use of circular and triangular cut-outs, interlaced with water bodies and open space, creates a sense of balance between solid and void — a signature of Kahn’s architectural philosophy. The structure is divided into the main assembly hall, surrounded by smaller blocks for offices, with walkways, gardens, and lakes enhancing the overall harmony.
Cultural & National Importance
This building is not just a seat of government — it’s a symbol of Bangladesh’s independence, unity, and democratic values. It houses the National Assembly, where the country’s most important political decisions are made, and represents the heart of the nation’s governance.
Visitor Experience
Tourists, architecture enthusiasts, and students from around the world come to admire the Parliament House. While the interior isn’t always open to the public, the exterior and surrounding complex are equally awe-inspiring. The adjacent Crescent Lake and parliament gardens offer serene walkways for reflection and photography.
Security & Maintenance
As a vital national institution, the area is well-maintained and secured, with access restricted in certain zones. However, the maintenance of the external spaces and the integration with the natural environment show great care and respect for the site’s significance.

Summary
The Bangladesh National Parliament House is not just a government building — it’s a national treasure, a global architectural icon, and a testament to visionary design. Whether you’re a Bangladeshi citizen or an international visitor, this site is a must-see for anyone interested in architecture, politics, or cultural heritage.
