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.
