Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is located on the banks of the Ganges Delta's Buriganga River and is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. As one of the oldest cities in the South Asian subcontinent, Dhaka has a rich historical heritage, having flourished during the Mughal period. Today, this mega-city with a population of over 20 million is a globally important center for the textile industry, and the jute trade also plays an important role. The city is well connected, with a modern public transportation network, and retains its traditional bazaars and colonial architecture. Dhaka is culturally diverse, with Bengali as the main language and vibrant traditional festivals such as the Bhojpuri Festival, and despite the challenges of population density, the city still has a vibrant presence that makes it a distinctive South Asian metropolis.
