My home district is Kishoreganj. It is about 145 kilometers from Dhaka. It is a district headquarters. The district has 8 municipalities, 13 Upazilas, 108 unions and 1745 villages.

Kishoreganj is a small town, but there are many important places in and around it. The largest Eid fairgrounds, called Solakia Eid Ground and the well-known Government Gurudayal College are in the town. People from many districts come to this place to celebrate Eid.

Near the Fuleshwari River, you can see the Shiva Temple of Chandrabati. Kishoreganj is also the home district of some famous people.
