The Dhanshiri is a river in the Jhalokati District of Bangladesh.

[1] Local lore has it that poet Jibanananda Das had a maternal uncle in Bamankathi village (in today's Rajapur Upazila), and during his childhood visits there, he fell in love with the natural beauty of the Dhanshiri River.

[2] He wrote of it poignantly in his poem "Ābāra āsiba phirē" (I will come back again): I will come back again to Bengal, to this Dhansiri riverside Maybe not as a man — but a shalik, or white-crest kite; Or a dawn crow maybe, new-rice-time, in misty flight To this jackfruit-tree-shade one Kartik day will glide.
