You're showing us what you want but not what you've got. BUT, the

.bg	{width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;z-index:-1;}

is doing it. There's no position attribute in the #d1 so the absolute positioning in .bg will put .bg up in a corner of the browser window - which is its actual parent container.

Sir,

The parent container is DIV
I want to show image and text in it.

No - when you set a position:absolute, that item is taken out of the normal flow - unless it's inside container with a stated position attribute (position:absolute, position:relative, position: static, position:fixed. If that container doe not have a stated position, then the body becomes the parent.

#d1 {float:left;
    width:200px;height:200px;
    background-color:e3eeff;    
    margin:20px 20px 20px 20px;
    overflow:hidden;
    text-align:center;
    vertical-align:middle;
    letter-spacing:10pt;}

All I did was repeat some of your own code because it was exactly those snippets you were having an issue with.
