Answer 1

Narayanganj or Narayungunj, a city in central Bangladesh, at the confluence of the Lakhya and Dhaleshwari rivers. It is the river port for Dhaka and Bangladesh's busiest trade center, especially for jute. The city is also a collection center for hides and skins and a reception point for imports from and exports to Kolkata (Calcutta). Narayanganj and Dhaka together make up the principal industrial region of Bangladesh. There are jute presses, cotton textile mills, and ship repair facilities. Nearby is the celebrated shrine of the Muslim saint Kadam Rasul.

The town got its name from Bicon Lal Pandey, a Hindu religious leader who was also known as Benur Thakur or Lakhsmi Narayan Thakur. He leased the area from the British East India Company in 1766 following the Battle of Plassey. He donated the markets and the land on the banks of the river as Devottor or Given to God property, bequethed for maintenance expenses for the worship of the god Narayan.-

Hello Spondon!

Geography: Narayanganj District is bounded by Gazipur and Narsingdi Districts on the north, Brahmanbaria and Comilla Districts on the east, Munshiganj District on the south, and Dhaka District on the west. Geologically, the area lies on the edge of the Madhupur Tract and Holocene floodplain deposits form the aquifer.

The total area of the district is 759.57 km², of which 48.56 km². Is riverine and 0.60 km² is under forest. The district lies between 23°33´and 23°57´ north latitude and between 90°26´ and 90°45´ east longitude. The city of Narayanganj has a population of 1.5 million and is located some 20 kilometers southeast of Dhaka, the national capital, on the flat Ganges Delta and alluvial plain.

The Shitalakshya River divides the town into two parts, the Narayanganj Municipal Area and Kadam Rasul Municipal Area. This area is crossed by many small artificial canals fed by monsoon rain. Average annual rainfall is 2550 mm, 80 to 90% of which occurs between May and October.

PS. I think the first Answer (above) has made it clear enough. However, since your Q is interesting I am writing the following.

Being yourself a Bangladeshi you are asking "where is Narayangonj?"

I used to see similar type of questions from Indian participants like "Who is Sachin?" or "Where is Mumbai (put any city of India)" etc. After a good feedback from the respondents they learnt to use Y!A for what it meant for.

If you are a foreigner (other than Bangladeshi) then your question is perfectly legitimate or okay. But if you want to increase the awareness of your home town or country among the Y!A users, then please be honest and pose the question in such a manner that it is clear what you are asking for (unknown to you).

There are so many subjects and issues in this world those need to be known and discussed than asking a Q for which you already have answer. I am sorry that if this is not the case with you then my apology.

Have a nice Q&A session in Y!A
