I visited the Shat Gambuz Mosque during the last summer vacation. To visit the mosque accompanied by one of my bosom friends went to Bagerhat. We stayed there for five hours and gathered a lot of experience by visiting the mosque It is a place of historical interest in Bangladesh. We got much historical information of the famous mosque. The mosque has its glorious historical precedents. In the mid 15th century, a Muslim Colony was founded in the inhospitable mangrove forest of the Sundarbans near the sea coast of Bagerhat district by a saint Ulugh Khan Jahan. He was the earliest torch bearer of Islam. The mosque impressed me very much. The stately fabric of the monument stands by water tank. The mosque is roofed over with 77 squat domes including 7 chauchala or four sided dómes in the middle row The vast prayer hall is provided with 11 arched door ways. The architecture of the mosque is attractive. The tank near the mosque is nice to look at. Its opaque water is sacred to all irrespective of caste or creed. Now it is one of the greatest tourist attractions.
