Dear Ahsan,
How do you do? Listen,
I have some exciting things to tell you. Last week, we went to Bagerhat with my
uncle and I had the opportunity to see the ‘Shatgombuj Mosque’ which is one of
the most architectural beauties of Bangladesh.
The Mosque was built by
Khan Jahan Ali. It stands on sixty pillars with its seventy seven exquisitely
curved ‘Gombuj’ or domes and not ‘Shat’ or sixty as the name suggests. Its wall
is two meters thick and the interior western wall is decorated with terracotta
flowers and foliage.
There is also a lake
like ‘dighi’. There is a saying that a horse was made to run before digging the
‘dighi’. It ran covering a distance and stood still. That distance was accepted
as its length. So, it was named ‘Ghora dighi’. There are also many crocodiles
in the ‘dighi’.
To speak the truth, we
had a very exciting time there which is really a memorable experience.
Yours ever,
Mabrur
