Ever since I saw the picture of the sixty domed mosque on the internet, I have been wanting to see this mosque.
I thought I would go to see the mosque whenever there was an opportunity.
I had to go to Khulna for a program a few days ago.
Given the opportunity, I did not make a mistake to visit the sixty-domed mosque.
The hobby of visiting the mosque was fulfilled that day. And so I brought the video.
Sufi Khan Jahan Ali built the sixty-domed mosque.
This mosque is one of the traditional structures of Bangladesh.
The mosque is located on the east bank of Ghora Dighi, three miles west of the present town of Bagerhat.
This one-storied rectangular mosque is basically made of burnt clay bricks. The mosque has 11 doors on the east wall and 7 doors on the north and south.
There are 10 arches on the west wall of the mosque. There are 4 arches in the north and 5 in the south.
There are four minarets in the four corners of the mosque. There are a total of 77 domes on the roof of the mosque.
Why the mosque is named after sixty domes is a matter of research.
Every day innumerable people come from far and wide to see the mosque.
