status as Urdu. To commemorate the dead, the

Shaheed Minar is the centre of cultural activities

residential palace and seat of
theDhaka Nawab Family. It is situated
on the banks of the Buriganga

now a museum.
5. Lalbagh

"Fort Aurangabad") is an
incomplete Mughalpalace
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 ofBengal, but before

recalled by Aurangzeb. His
successor, Shaista Khan, did not
complete the work, though he
stayed in Dhaka up to 1688. His
daughter bibi pari (Lady Fairy)

ominous.

8. National
Parliament
It is one of the most majestic public buildings in
Bangladesh. The National Parliament complex is
located at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar of Dhaka city. The
National Parliament Building is an architectural
masterpiece for which the nation can be said to be
justifiably proud.The decision to construct the
National Parliament Complex at Dhaka was
originally taken in 1959. Louis I Kahn. one of the
greatest architects of the time was initially
selected for designing the complex. which would
include the National Parliament Building. Hostels
for members of parliament. ministers and
secretaries. hospitality halls and communally
buildings.All linked by roads and walkways and
surrounded by attractive gardens and lakes. The
main characteristic of the building is its
monumentally.The mass of concrete lined with
marble strips, the outer wall punctuate by pure
geometrical openings and the dominating circular
and rectangular concrete masses impart a
supreme monumentality to the building quite suited
to its noble function.
9. Shait Gambuj
Mosque
Among the many surviving monuments of
the Khan Jahan Ali style, undoubtedly the
most magnificent and largest brick mosque
in Bangladesh is the Shait Gombuj. It is
situated in Bagerhat district. For
outstanding architectural value. the World
Heritage Committee of UNESCO inscribed
Bagerhat in the World Heritage list and it got
the status of the second World Heritage site
in Bangladesh after Paharpur. Out of today's
surviving mosques, the Shait
Gombuj Mosque is the most magnificent and
certainly the largest brick mosque surviving
in Bangladesh. Its name, meaning '60
domes', is misleading as in reality, it is
roofed over with 77 small domes supported
by a forest of slender columns covering a
large prayer hall and giving it the
appearance of a medieval church crypt. At
sunrise when the rays of the sun penetrate
the eastern entrances, the interior comes to
life. There is little adornment to this building
other than the carved stone decoration to
the central mihrab at the western end of the
prayer hall. The exterior facades, with
slightly 'battered' walls, have discernible
curving cornices a concession to the local
style.
10. Chhota Sona
Masjid
One of the most graceful monuments
of the Sultanate period is the Chhota
Sona Masjid or Small Golden Mosque
at Gaur in Rajshahi. Built by one Wali
Muhammad during the reign of
Sultan Alauddin Husain Shah (1493-
1519), it was originally roofed over
with 15 gilded domes including the 3
ChauchaIqa domes in the middle
row, from which it derives its
curious name.
11. Mainama
ti
It is called the Seat of Lost Dynasties. About 8 km
to the west of Comilla town, situated 114 km
southeast of Dhaka, lies a range of low hills
known as the Mainamati-Lalmai ridge, which was
an extensive centre of Buddhist culture. On the
slopes or these hills lie scattered a treasure of
information about the early Buddhist civilization
(7th-12th Century AD.). At Salban in the middle or
the ridge, excavations have laid bare a large
Buddhist Vihara (monastery) with an imposing
central shrine. It has revealed valuable
information about the rule of the Chandra and
Deva dynasties which Flourished here from the
7th to the 12th century AD. The whole range of
hillocks runs for about 18 km and is studded with
more than 50 sites. A site museum houses the
archaeological finds which include terra cotta
plaques, bronze statues and caskets, coins,
jewellery, utensils, pottery and votive
stupas embossed with Buddhist inscriptions.
12. Baitul Mukarram-the National Mosque
It is the National Mosque of Bangladesh. Its
construction began on 1960, and has been going
on in phases. Architect T Abdul Hussain Thariani
was commissioned to design the mosque
complex. The plan included shops, offices,
libraries and parking areas within the complex.
The design of the mosque reflects the
architecture of the period as can be seen from
the use of a white and almost cube-form for the
main building. A Mosque without a dome over the
roof of its main prayer hall must have been a
unique experiment. The main building is eight
storied and 33 meters high from the ground level.
The area of the main prayer hall is 2464 SQ
meters with a mezzanine floor of 171 SQ metres
at the eastern side. Verandas surround the hall
on three of its four sides. The mihrab of the hall is
rectangular instead of semi-circular. The Baitul
Mukarram mosque is modern in its architectural
style. It has found its place in the hearts of the
Muslims because of the resemblance of its form
to the Holy Kaaba at Makkah.
13. Sonargaon
Sonargaon's importance in the pre-Muslim
period is borne out by its ancient name of
Suvarnagrama (the golden village), from
which it is obvious how the Muslim
version of the name is derived,as well as

created by setting pieces or
chinaware on white cement. Seen
from the front and from far it looks as

even more beautiful than the outside,
with a lovely mosaic floor and
excellent tiles with many floral
patterns set on the walls, all in
complete harmony.

16. Hossaini
dalan
Husaini Dalan a Shiite shrine in the old part of
the city of DHAKA, attributed to the Mughal
Period. It is a common practice among the Shia
community to build edifices to commemorate
the martyrdom of al-Husain, at the battle of
Karbala in Iraq on the tenth day of Muharram 61
AH (10 October 680 AD). The building seems to
have been originally erected by one Sayyid
Murad during the governorship of SHAH SHUJA,
who, although himself a Sunni, was eager to
preserve and patronise Shiite institutions.
Traditions relate that Sayyid Murad, having seen
al-Husain in a vision erecting a tazia khana
(house of mourning), was inspired to raise the
building, which he named Husaini Dalan. The
original building may have been a small
structure, expanded to its present form in later
times. The EAST INDIA COMPANY repaired it in
1807 and 1810, and a portion of the building was
reconstructed after the earthquake of 1897.

20. American
Church
This church dates from 1781 and it is still
functioning today. Compared to some of
the splendid churches elsewhere in the
world, this is a rather small, but interesting
building crowding on a narrow back street
of old Dhaka. But in the Dhaka context it is
a very important tranquil haven in the heart
of a huge crowded Muslim city.
The church supports a small Christian
community from several countries that
meets every Sunday evening. The
Armenians were once at the heart of
Bengal’s jute and leather trade but the
community has virtually vanished. For
much of the rest of the week the door to
the compound is looked but there is always
someone inside because the caretaker, his
family and others live on site. You just
need to wait or bang loudly on the door and
someone will come to let you in.

Jalauddin Fateh Shah in 1483 AD. It
displays the same characteristic
features of the period such as the
faceted octagonal turrets at 4 corners,
the curved cornice. The one facade and
3 mihrabs relieved richly with beautiful
terracotta floral and hanging patterns.
