SLC-S32/W4 | Frames of My World : Hidden Corners of My Area

Hello dear friends,

How are you all? I hope you are well. I am also fine by the grace of Allah. Today, I have come to participate in the fourth week of the Steemit Challenge SLC-S32/W4, organized by the Honorable organizer @pea07 and @sohanurrahman sir. They brought a wonderful and thoughtful challenge, whose name is "Frames of My World : Hidden Corners of My Area" I feel proud to participate in this challenge.

Sculpture of National Hilsha fish

Today I have arrived in Chandpur, the country of Bangladesh's national fish, Hilsa. The freshwater of Chandpur has become a sanctuary for Hilsa fish. There is a sculpture of a Hilsa fish at the fish pier in Chandpur. It is a symbol of our heritage. But for various reasons, the sculpture, known as a symbol of heritage, has become careless and neglected. Today, I will review the sculpture of the national fish, Hilsa, and pin it on the Steam-Atlas map.

Hilsa fish is our national fish; there is no other fish as delicious and popular as this fish. The Meghna River in Chandpur is called the pasture of such a respected fish. The Chandpur Big Station is located next to the Meghna River. The fish caught from there is sold at the pier of this station. From here, the Hilsa fish reaches different parts of the country.

As a result, the Big Station Fish Pier in Chandpur is a very important fish pier. There is a sculpture of the national fish, Hilsa, next to the fish market. The purpose of creating this sculpture was to present the place where the national fish was first imported with importance. To make the place memorable. Therefore, the Bangladesh Water Development Board has created a wonderful sculpture of the Hilsa fish. A boundary has been created around the sculpture. But it is very sad that the sculpture has not been given importance by anyone. No one has valued the location of the sculpture either. The place is being used in a neglected state. However, this place could have been a symbol of our heritage. We could have been proud of this place. The sculpture could have been our pride.

The place where the sculpture is located is an open area; it does not cost any money to visit it. This place is open to everyone 24 hours a day.

Today, even after becoming famous, it is lying in a neglected state. That famous sculpture is located at the big station of the district town of Chandpur. Chandpur big station is a river port. Hundreds of launches and steamers ply through the Meghna River to connect Dhaka with the southern part of the country, and passengers disembark at the current ghat. There is also a railway station, a ferry ghat, and a mini tourist center here. It becomes easier to come here from any part of the country just by mentioning the name of the Chandpur big station.

Chandpur big station, known as the home of historical Hilsa, is famous for many reasons. But due to a lack of proper maintenance, today the place has become a hidden or little-known place.

It is still a little-known or hidden place because there is no publicity for this place. The local administration has completed its duty by just creating the sculpture. It has not fulfilled any responsibility for proper maintenance.
The boundary surrounding the sculpture is also neglected. People dry clothes on the boundary, and children play on it. All in all, the famous place remains unknown. That is why I think the sculpture of Hilsa's house is a hidden gem.

The historical Hilsa's house's big station has taken on a unique appearance for several reasons. The first one I would like to mention is the sculpture of Hilsa fish, which is known as the pasture of Hilsa. This sculpture indicates that this place is the place of Hilsa. This sculpture represents the Hilsa fish. It represents Chandpur city and gives importance to Chandpur city. This sculpture is located here as a symbol of tradition, a symbol of pride, a symbol of arrogance.

The second is that Chandpur's big station is known as the meeting point of three rivers. Hundreds of visitors come here every day to see the rotation that is created at the mouth of the three rivers.
The third is the Hilsa fish market here. Fresh Hilsa is always available in the market here. Hilsa enthusiasts come here like locusts to collect the silver-colored fresh Hilsa. These important installations have made the place unique.

Although the sculpture of the Hilsa house has been neglected and unimportant, I have visited this place several times. For me, this place is a symbol of our heritage and our national wealth. At present, we have not been able to evaluate the place according to its importance. At the same time, I have seen that many of the current generation are optimistic about the place. They are emotional about its beauty. I believe that someone from among them will take the responsibility of evaluating the place. Everyone will come together under his supervision. They will come forward to present the place beautifully to everyone.

My education and belief is that where the depreciation ends, the valuation begins. I have confidence in the young generation; there is nothing they cannot do. With their hands, a renaissance will be created, and the word of the Hilsa house will spread everywhere.

Temporary shops around the sculpture

While visiting the sculpture of the Hilsa house, I took several pictures. I tried to present the place through these pictures. I am trying to tell the story of the Hilsa house with the help of the pictures. Through the pictures, we can know the story of our heritage, we can remember the story of our pride.
We can see the pasture of the Hilsa fish, which is our national fish.
