Panch Rastar Mor or Shapla Square is a major junction and one of the busiest locations in Kushtia. In 2003 the Kushtia Municipality constructed a sculpture of the national flower the Shapla (water lily) at the center of the intersection. Since then the junction became popularly known as Shapla Square. In 2020 on the occasion of Mujib Year the Shapla sculpture was replaced with a sculpture of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
