Dhakeshwari temple prepares to welcome PM Modi

Preparations are in full swing just ahead of PM Modi’s visit to Bangladesh. It will be PM Modi’s first visit to the neighbouring country and PM Modi will offer prayers at the 12th century Dhakeshwari temple. News Nation visits Dhakeshwari Temple ahead of the visit. Exactly a year ago in June 2014, when foreign minister Sushma Swaraj took her first trip abroad, to Bangladesh, she visited and prayed, built by the Sena dynasty king Ballal Sen and considered an essential part of Dhaka's cultural heritage. The city of Dhaka derives its name from Dhakeshwari, which means Goddess of Dhaka.
