Sonargaon

Sonargaon (Bengali: সোনারগাঁও; also transcribed as Sunārgāon) was the administrative center of medieval Muslim rulers in East Bengal. It became as the capital of Bengal during Isa Khan's ruling. The area falls under present-day Narayanganj District, Bangladesh. Today the name Sonargaon survives as Sonargaon Upazila in that district.
