To visit the Mausoleum of Bongobondhu, it is not that much comfortable. You have to use several poor local bus services on our way. Local bus of Narail isn't that much comprehensive, but it is awesome at Gopalganj. The highway is smooth and wide enough, and has lot of spaces, even inside the local bus either. From Gopalganj, to visit this place, you need to go to Tungipara.

Bus journey from town to Tungipara is about 30-35 minutes. For your information, it doesn't require any ticket to visit the mausoleum. You can observe the display gallery that is having lot of photos of Bongobondhu from different occasions and times. It is probably a gallery and library together. It has an open stage with an 'audience gallery' beside the library.

It requires to go through a long path from the gallery to the grave. The grave is covered under a nicely designed structure. Everyone is allowed to enter inside the structure, but not allowed to take any photographs.

After exploring everything around, you can return from there and come outside to have foods. There are several fast food shops which basically sell the Chotpoti and Fuchka. There is a vast paddy field beside that area.

আজ সকালে এসএম সুলতানের সমাধিসৌধ দেখে দীর্ঘপথ পাড়ি দিয়ে আমরা গোপালগঞ্জ জেলায় পৌছাই। যাত্রাপথটি মোটেও আরামদায়ক ছিল না কারন আমাদের কয়েক দফায় কয়েকটি পুরাতন লোকাল বাসে চড়তে হয়েছিল। নড়াইলের লোকাল বাসগুলোর মান ভাল না হলেও গোপালগঞ্জের লোকাল বাসগুলোর মান ছিল বেশ উন্নত। মহাসড়কটি যেমন চওড়া এবং আরামদায়ক ছিল তেমনি বাসের ভেতরেও পর্যাপ্ত জায়গা ছিল। গোপালগঞ্জে কোর্ট মসজিদ ঘুরে দেখার পর আমরা টুঙ্গিপাড়ায় বঙ্গবন্ধুর সমাধিসৌধর উদ্দেশ্যে যাত্রা করি।

গোপালগঞ্জ শহর থেকে বাসে করে ৩০ মিনিট থেকে ৩৫ মিনিটের মধ্যে আমরা টুঙ্গিপাড়ায় পৌঁছে যাই। শনিবার হওয়াতে রাস্তা যেমন খালি ছিল তেমনি সমাধিসৌধতেও কোন ভিড় ছিল না। মনে হচ্ছিল যেন সমাধিসৌধতে আমরাই একমাত্র দর্শনার্থী যদিও কিছুক্ষন পর কয়েকজন দর্শনার্থী আমাদের সাথে যোগ দেন। বিশাল এলাকার উপর অবস্থিত সমাধিসৌধতে সেসময় মাত্র পাঁচ থেকে ছয়জন পর্যটক উপস্থিত ছিলেন।

আকাশে মেঘ থাকলেও দিনটি ছিল রৌদ্রোজ্জ্বল তাই সবকিছু ভাল করে দেখা যাচ্ছিল। সমাধিসৌধে ঢুকতে কোন প্রবেশমূল্য দিতে হয়না। সমাধিসৌধে প্রবেশের পর ২০ মিনিট থেকে ৩০ মিনিট বৃষ্টি হওয়াতে আমাদের একটি ছাদের নীচে আশ্রয় নিতে হয়েছিল। এরপর আমরা সমাধি সৌধের প্রদর্শনী গ্যালারি ঘুরে দেখি যেখানে বঙ্গবন্ধুর জীবনের বিভিন্ন সময়ের ছবি প্রদর্শন করা হচ্ছে। এখানে একটি পাঠাগারও রয়েছে। পাঠাগারের পাশেই দর্শক গ্যালারিসহ একটি উন্মুক্ত মঞ্চ রয়েছে।

গ্যালারি থেকে বঙ্গবন্ধুর কবরের দূরত্ব বেশি হওয়ায় আমরা বৃষ্টি থামার পর সেদিকে রওনা হই। চমৎকার স্থাপত্য দিয়ে কবরটিকে আবৃত করে রাখা হয়েছে। এসময় কয়েকজনকে পবিত্র কোরআন শরীফ তেলাওয়াত করতে দেখা যায়। কবরের কাছে সবার যাওয়ার অনুমতি থাকলেও এখানে ছবি তোলা নিষেধ।

সমাধিসৌধ দেখার পর সেখানে অবস্থিত কিছু চটপটি এবং ফুচকার দোকানে আমরা কিছুক্ষনের জন্য অবস্থান করি। আমাদের সাথে ভাংতি টাকা না থাকায় আমরা কয়েক রকমের স্ন্যাক্স কিনেছিলাম যাতে করে টাকা ভাঙ্গানোর পাশাপাশি একটু বিশ্রামও নেয়া যায়। সমাধিসৌধের পাশেই একটি বিশাল ধানক্ষেত রয়েছে। বর্ষাকাল হওয়াতে ধানক্ষেতটি পানির নীচে ছিল। সেসময় আকাশ মেঘে পরিপূর্ণ ছিল এবং চমৎকার বাতাস বইছিল। এখানে আরও কিছুক্ষন থাকার ইচ্ছা থাকলেও পরবর্তী গন্তব্যে অর্থাৎ আড়পাড়া মুন্সীবাড়িতে যাওয়ার কারনে আমাদের সেই সুযোগ ছিল না।

Dr. Humayun Azad was also a teacher in University of Dhaka. His writings were completely different from the other writers. The topic and also the style of writing (especially word choosing) was unique which people did not receive properly. During his lifetime, several attempts were made to kill him and people did not want to bury him at Munshiganj as well after his death. Unfortunately, in 2012 there was an attempt to destroy his grave too. However, people can now visit the place where he was buried. It is very near to Rarikhal, Sir J. C. Bose Complex in Dhaka- Dohar highway.
