An image of a circular tea garden is widely shared on social media, claiming that it is the Kodala tea garden in Chittagong, Bangladesh.
The caption reads: “আমাদের বাংলাদেশেরই একটি চা-বাগান। বেশ দৃষ্টি নন্দিত!! বাগানটির নাম, কোদালা চা বাগান, রাঙ্গুনিয়া,চট্টগ্রাম।” (English translation: “A tea garden of our Bangladesh. Pretty much the vision!! The name of the garden, Kodala tea garden, Rangunia, Chittagong.”)
