Kutub Shahi Mosque (Kishoreganj,Dhaka-Bangladesh)
Kutub Shahi Mosque
Kutub Shahi mosque is lockted at Astagram Upazela of
Kishoreganj district. This Astagram is looks like an island during rainy
season. The communication of Astagram is not much good, its totally based on
the boat and launches. That's why people can hardly heard the name of this
mosque. Kutub Shahi Mosque is basically a five dome mosque. One larger dome is
at the center, and other four domes are near at the corner of the mosque. This
is a rectangular shaped mosque and typical smaller one. That's why all the domes
atop are jammed together. Central dome of the Kutub Shah Mosque is slightly
semi spherical shaped and the other four domes are the shape of oval (half of
the oval) . Each of the domes are having upside down like flowering ornate at
the top. There is a doubt available between the scholars regarding the building
period of the mosque. Some believe its 16th century and some believe its from
17th century. Whatever it is, the mosque was build by a saint named Kutub Shah
and the name of the mosque is taken after him. His grave is located exactly
beside the mosque along with other of his companions. So you can visit this
beautiful mosque.
