| 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.
