The garden is primarily composed of Shimul trees, which produce vibrant red blossoms in the Bengali months of Falgun and Chaitra. This seasonal transformation attracts visitors who come to see the colorful landscape.[5][6][7]
These gardens are located in various places in Bangladesh. Among them, Shimul Bagan[8] in Tahirpur, Sunamganj is known as a tourist center.[9][10][11]
History
In 2002, Sunamganj's Tahirpur Upazila's Manigaon Village, near the Jadukata River,[12] a People's representative Joynal Abedin, planted around 3,000 Shimul trees on his 2,400-decimal land purely out of passion.[13][14][15]
During spring, nearly 2,000 Shimul trees bloom with red flowers, creating a striking contrast against Tanguar Haor,[16] the Meghalaya foothills, and the Jadukata River. Tourists visit to witness the colorful landscape of seasonal flowers.[17][18][19]
Location
The Shimul Garden is located in Manigaon Village, near the Jadukata River in Sunamganj's Tahirpur Upazila. On the opposite side of the river lies the Indian Meghalaya Hills, while the Jadukata River flows in between, creating a picturesque contrast with the crimson Shimul flowers and the symphony of chirping birds.[20][21]
