'''The Government of Bangladesh''' and the Cabinet of [[Bangladesh]] use a seal in their official functions. This seal is also found on the cover page of Bangladeshi passports. It was designed after Bangladesh's first flag, used during the Bangladesh Liberation War. The seal contains the words "People's Republic of Bangladesh" in Bengali above the outer white part and below it, "government", along with four red 5-pointed stars, two on either side. The design also includes a map of Bangladesh in yellow with a red circle in the centre. [[Nithyananda Saha]] designed the seal.
