mosques in the country and is described as "historic
mosque representing the Golden Era of Muslim
Bengal"
The mosque is unique in that it has 60
pillars that support 77 exquisitely curved "low
squat domes" that have worn away over time;
it has seven central domes that are four-
sided and built in Bengali style.

Old Dhaka, about 350m north of the Armenian
Church.
It is one of the most famous historical tourist
attractions of Old Dhaka. The mosque, both inside
and outside, is decorated with mosaic.
The surface was redone in 'Chini Tikri', a popular
broken china decoration. The mosque is one of the
very few examples of exclusive chinitikri mosaic,
found in the striking blue star mosaic, which gave
the mosque its name Star Mosque.

decoration and so the mosque is called the Star
Mosque (Tara Masjid in Bengali).

inscription. It is known that one
Mirza Golam Pir, whose ancestors
had come to Dhaka and settled in
Mohalla Ale Abu Sayeed
(present-day Armanitola), erected it.

the mosque may conveniently be
placed in the first half of the 19th century.

rectangular mosque, measuring 33' x 11' with
three doorways on the east facade (main facade) and
one on the north wall and another on the south wall.

The mosque was built during the reign of
Sultan Hussain, between 1493 and
1519. The fifteen domes of the mosque
were once gilded, giving the mosque
the name of Choto Shona Mosjid (Small
Golden Mosque).

18. Architectural Style
Built of brick and stone, the mosque proper forms
a rectangle having outside dimensions of 25.1
meters (82 ft) from north to south and 15.9
meters (52 ft) from east to west.
The interior of the mosque,
measuring 21.2 by 12.2 meters
(70 by 40 ft), is divided into
three aisles by two rows of
stone pillars, four in each row.

19. The glamour of the Chhoto Sona Mosjid is
not there as it was originally, particularly
because of the stripping of the decorative
mihrabs and the mosque courtyard,
but the remains are nevertheless
one of the most attractive
monuments of
Guar-Lakhnauti
