Bangladesh: Curzon Hall


Thanks to Ms Adithi who says she has been to this place several times and taken some beautiful photographs too. This building looks similar to our courts, which are painted red. She has used two stamps featuring butterflies from 2012.

Bangladesh: Flag

The national flag of Bangladesh was adopted officially on 17 January 1972. It consists of a red disc on top of a green field, offset slightly toward the hoist so that it appears centred when the flag is flying. The red disc represents the sun rising over Bengal, and also the blood of those who died for the independence of Bangladesh. The green field stands for the lushness of the land of Bangladesh. 


Thanks to MS Adithi Biswas
