Ganabhaban

The Ganabhaban (, also spelt Gonobhaban) located in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka, north of the National Parliament House, served as the official residence of the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina until the fall of her government. In the aftermath of the July uprising in 2024, the residence is undergoing transformation into a museum, to be named the July Uprising Memorial Museum.

== History == Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, after switching from presidency to premiership following the independence of Bangladesh and founding of a parliamentary government, used to have his office at what was known as the "President's House" (later more commonly "Sugandha Bhaban" and officially "State Guest House Sugandha"), which he referred to as the "Ganabhaban", meaning "People's House", and now serves as the Foreign Service Academy office since 1996, located on Baily Road. Due to inadequate office space, following the 1973 general election, he had the Ganabhaban built at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar as his official residence and secretariat, though he never resided there. After its completion the following year, he would work there until 1975 and it would subsequently be used as a court-martial by the succeeding martial law administrations. 300px|thumb|A view from inside the Ganabhaban during an official meeting in 2023
