What is the previous name of Sonargaon? Correct Answer Suvarna Gram
Sonargaon originally Svarnagrama or Suvarnagrama, denotes an ancient janapada (territory) of Vanga stretched on both banks of the Brahmaputra, which is said to have originally been inhabited by a race called Svarna - bhushita, literally meaning 'dressed up with gold' and signifying a people traditionally adorned with gold - wear. The antiquity of this region may be traced back to the period of Kuru - Pandava war described in the Mahabharata, and even earlier.
