The Banga Bhaban ((ベンガル語:বঙ্গভবন), lit. ''House of Bengal'') is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of Bangladesh, the head of state of Bangladesh. Located in the capital Dhaka, the mansion was a viceregal lodge during British rule. From 1947 to 1971, it was the residence of the Governor of East Pakistan. Since 1971, it has been the official residence of the President of Bangladesh. Most Bangladeshi Presidents since Abu Sayeed Chowdhury have lived here. ==History== During the period of the sultanate of Bengal, a Sufi saint, ''Hazrat Shahjalal Dakhini'' of Dhaka, and his followers were killed by agents of the sultan and buried on the site of Bangabhaban. The site soon became famous as a ''mazhar'' (''mausoleum'') for the devotees of the saint. It is conjectured that it belonged to a zamindar during the period of British India. Nawab Khwaja Abdul Ghani of Dhaka bought the site and built a bungalow there, which he named as ''Dilkusha Garden''. With the partition of Bengal in 1905, the government of East Bengal and Assam bought the site and constructed a palatial house which served as a temporary residence for the Viceroy of India until 1911. From 1911 to 1947, the palace was called the Governor House, and served as the residence of the governor of Bengal. Following the independence of Pakistan and India in 1947, when East Bengal officially became part of Pakistan, the palace became the residence of the governor of East Pakistan. The building was severely damaged by a storm in 1961; substantial reconstruction was completed by 1964. Two research books on history of Bangabhaban〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hundred Years Bangabhaban 1905 2005 )〕 were published on 14 February 2006 under the initiatives of President Professor Dr. Iajuddin Ahmed. The two separate books were namely ''Hundred Years of Bangabhaban'' and ''Bangabhbaner Shatabarsha'',.〔http://www.bangla-sydney.com/pdf/helal-100-years-of-bangabhaban.pdf〕 The research panel was led by Vice Chancellor of Bangladesh National University (Bangladesh Jatiya Bishwabidyalaya) Professor Dr. A.
