:: Star Mosque ::
A very beautiful
mosque of the city is situated at Mahuttuly on Abul Khairat Rd; just west of
Armanitola Govt. High School. Architecturally faultless (Mughal style) is a
five-dome mosque with hundreds of big and small twinkling stars as surface
decorations.
The stars have been
created by setting pieces of chinaware on white cement. Seen from the front and
from far it looks as if shining above the surface of the earth. The inside of
it is even more beautiful that the outside, lovely mosaic floor and excellent
tiles with many floral patterns set on the walls, are all in complete harmony.
The
sitara Masjid was built originally with three domes in early 18th century by
Mirza Ghulam Pir, a highly respectable Zamindar of Dhaka.
