In this research study, the authors selected a unique historical and architectural monument of old Dhaka, named “Bara Katra”.

But in present day this structure is in poor condition and hidden within dense settlement. In the light of the above revealed situation, it has been felt that a conservation management plan (CMP) of Bara Katra is essentially needed to make it sustainable. This study concentrates on the accomplishment of proposing the conservation management plan for the conse...
