Jasim Uddin is the famous poet from Bangladesh, especially for his dedication to write poems about the folklore culture. He is the only poet from the country whose poems depicts the beauty of the villages and people of villages. The house of our beloved poet is situated by the river “Kumar”. The river itself is an enchanting for its beauty and environment. Inside the house premise, you’ll find the grave of the poet (actually a family grave for poet’s family).
To enter inside the house premise, you’ll require 5 taka per person. Inside the premise, you can see some used objects of the poet, for example camera, plates, bed, chair, some photos etc. You’ll find lots of quotes from the poet (some from speech, some from poem, and some from story). You’ll love to read those from there. Especially the ones those were at your text book during your childhood education.
At the outside of the house premise, it’s a nice picnic spot. Lots of visitors used to come to this place to pass the afternoon. The river, and the field beside the river is lovely for enjoying the beauty of the sunset. The large field beside the river is now a playing ground for the local people. They used to pass their afternoon using playing football or other local plays there. It’s also a lovely scene where kids are playing. For visitors, there are benches to sit, under sheds.
During the 1st January to 18th January, there used to be a Mela (Fair) at this ground by the name of the Poet. But the Mela unofficially used to extend for another 2 days. So the total duration is 20 days.

Amar sonar moyna pakhi
Amar golar har khule ne
Amar har kala korlam re
Amay bhashaili re
Amay eto raate
Kemon tomar mata pita
Nodir kul nai kinar nai
O bondhu rongila
Rangila nayer majhi
Nishte Jaio Phul bane, O Bhomora
O bajan Chal jai mathe langol baite
Prano shokhi re oi shone kodombo tole
O amar dorodi age janle
Bashari Amar Harai Giache
Balu Charer Meya

Ganger Kulre Gelo Bhangia
O Tui Jare Aghat Hanlire Mone
O Amar Gahin Ganer Naya
Amar Bandhu Binodia[6]
