পাখির চোখে ইদ্রাকপুর কেল্লা | Idrakpur Fort Munshiganj of Mughal Empire | Mughal Architecture in bangladesh
Idrakpur Fort is a river fort situated in Munshiganj, Bangladesh. The fort was built approximately in 1660 A.D. According to a number of historians, the river fort was built by Mir Jumla II, a Subahdar of Bengal under the Mughal Empire, to establish the control of Mughal Empire in Bikrampur (now Munshigaj) and to defend Dhaka and Narayanganj from the pirates. The strategy was developed by Mir Jumla II with the help of the other two forts in Narayanganj- the Hajiganj Fort and the Sonakanda Fort.

Idrakpur, now Munshiganj was a strategically very significant point as it was the junction of a number of rivers including Meghna River, Shitalakshya River, Ichhamati River and Dhaleshwari River. Idrakpur Fort was the centre of his strategy. The fort was used as the naval base of the naval fleet of 200 frigates under Mughal admiral Abul Hossain.
The Portuguese and Magh pirates used this point to move forward to Dhaka through Shitalakshya River.
Idrakpur river-fort is different from the other Mughal forts and has a number of unique features.
The fort is apparently divided into two parts- the eastern part and the western part. The quadrangular eastern part and the polygonal western part combined into the complete fort.
The most significant feature of the fort is the circular drum it has in the eastern part of the fort. The circular drum is further enclosed by another fortification wall, which was used for mounting a huge cannon.
Another remarkable feature of the fort is the existence of a staircase leading to a secret room at the foot of the drum. The staircase leads to a secret underground chamber which was the magazine or storehouse.
The main entrance gate of the fort is on the north with a high rectangular bastion crowned by machicolated merlons which served as a guard room.
