Nilphamari(District)

Kurigram Sadar Upazila is the heart of Kurigram district, washed by the Teesta and Dharla rivers.

Geographically, it is a unique region of plains nestled against the northern Himalayas, where the enchanting patterns of rivers and lush green crop fields blend into one.

This historic region is well-known for its distinct cultural identity and folk traditions, which the locals affectionately call 'Kurigram'.

The Kurigram Municipality and the surrounding markets serve as the main driving force of the local economy, where the pulse of rural life is clearly felt.

Among the tourist attractions, the beautiful bridge built over the Dharla River and the recreation centers along its banks bring peace to the hearts of visitors.

As a bearer of tradition, it holds various remnants of ancient architecture and local folk culture.

History reveals that this region played a significant role in various national crises, including the anti-British movement.

When speaking of the illustrious sons of Kurigram, the name of the legendary composer and musician Pandit Bhishmadev Chattopadhyay comes first, who enriched Bengali music with his creations.

All in all, Kurigram Sadar is not just an administrative unit, but a living document of riverine Bangladesh.
