Dhaka’s core grew under Mughal rule in the 17th century; later the 19th-century Nawabs shaped its urban identity and trade prominence along the Buriganga.
Buriganga is heavily polluted and riverfront areas suffer from waste and congestion; minimize single-use plastics, follow local guidance for boat operators, and support vendors who practice waste reduction.
