On Tuesday, the country will commemorate Victory Day, which was liberated 54 years ago after a bloody, nine-month War of Liberation that freed the country from Pakistani occupation forces.
At the great sacrifice of three million people and the honour of almost half a million women, Bangladesh became an independent nation on December 16, 1971.
The city will start the day with a 31-gun salute on Tuesday morning, and the government has organised a number of events to commemorate the great Victory Day.
The events include laying wreaths at the monuments in remembrance of the martyrs, raising the national flags, holding a three-day victory fair, parachuting with the greatest number of national flags, a band performance, cultural events, recitation, children's essay and painting competitions about the Liberation War, and an acrobatic performance.
At sunrise on Tuesday, the President and the Chief Advisor are scheduled to lay wreaths at the Savar National Martyrs' Memorial, which is located outside the capital, in remembrance of the Liberation War martyrs.
Following that, wreaths will be laid there by the families of Bir Shrestha, courageous Freedom Fighters, and war-wounded Freedom Fighters led by the Liberation War Affairs Adviser.
The martyrs who gave their lives during the great Liberation War will also be honoured by international diplomats in Bangladesh as well as members of a variety of political and social organisations.
In addition to important buildings and establishments being illuminated, the national flag will be raised in all government, semi-government, autonomous, and private buildings, as well as Bangladesh's embassies and missions overseas, on this special day.
Banners, festoons, and colourful flags, including the national flag, have already been used to adorn the country's major thoroughfares and road islands in Dhaka and other cities.
