Introduction:
The Shat Gombuj Mosque (ষাট গম্বুজ মসজিদ Sixty Dome
Mosque): (more commonly known as Shait Gambuj Mosque or Saith
Gunbad Masjid) is the largest historical mosque in Bangladesh and one of
the most impressive Muslim architectural structures on the Indian Subcontinent.
In mid-15th
century, a Muslim colony was founded in the unfriendly mangrove forest of the
Sundarbans near the coastline in the Bagerhat district by an obscure
saint-General, named Ulugh Khan Jahan. He was the earliest torch bearer of
Islam in the South who laid the center of an affluent city during the reign of
Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah, then known as 'Khalifalabad'.
Introduction:
Lalbagh Fort (লালবাগ দূর্গ):
Lalbagh Fort is one of the most
famous historical place of Bangladesh.
It is an incomplete Mughal palace fortress at the Buriganga River in the
southwestern part of Dhaka, Bangladesh.Construction was commenced in 1678 by Prince
Muhammad Azam during his 15-month long vice-royalty of Bengal, but before the
work could complete, he was recalled by Aurangzeb. His successor, Shaista Khan,
did not complete the work, though he stayed in Dhaka up to 1688. His daughter
Iran Dukht nicknamed Pari Bibi (Fairy Lady) died here in 1684 and this led him
to consider the fort to be ominous.
