Although Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, gained some importance in the pre-Mughal period, the city rose to prominence in history during the Mughal period. The origin of the name Dhaka is not clear. Some of the prevailing views on this are as follows: a) At one time there were many dhak trees (buti fudosa) in this region; B) On the day of the inauguration of the capital, drums were played here under the direction of Islam Khan; C) a Prakrit language called 'Dhaka language' was prevalent here; D)In Rajatarangini, the word Dhaka is referred to as 'observation center' or in the Allahabad inscription, the eastern state of Samudragupta, Dabak, is Dhaka. It is said that Ballal Sen, a king of the Sen dynasty, found an idol of the Hindu goddess Durga in a nearby forest while traveling on the banks of the river Buriganga. In honor of Goddess Durga, King Ballal Sen established a temple in the area. Since the idol of the goddess was found in Dhaka or Gupta state, the name of the king temple is Dhakeswari temple. From the name of the temple, the name of the place became Dhaka over timeAccording to many historians, when the Mughal emperor Jahangir declared Dhaka as the capital of Suba Bengal, Subaddar Islam Khan ordered the playing of 'Dhak' in the city as an expression of joy. The story of playing this dhak became a legend among the people and hence the name of this city became DhakaIt may be mentioned here that in 1610 Islam Khan Chishti Subah shifted the capital of Bengal from Rajmahal to Dhaka and renamed it Jahangirnagar after the emperor.
