Golakata Mosque and Dighi were built in 16th century AD. the mosque's gigantic structure makes it very special. It stands 150 feet tall. The steps were made by bricks. Recently it looks a bit distinct. It is mixed with some colors but white & reds are frequently used. There is a huge prayer space where many people say their prayer.
There is a very big Dighi known as Galakata Dighi. This place becomes very calm and relaxed in evening by the whining of birds. Many people come here to chill. This Dighi is filled with natural beauty.

১৬শ শতকে নির্মিত গলাকাটা মসজিদটির বিশেষত্ব হল এটির বিশালাকৃতি। প্রায় ১৫০ ফুট উঁচু এই মসজিদটি অত্যন্ত যত্নের সাথে নির্মাণ করা হয় এমন একটি সময়ে যখন প্রযুক্তিগত দিক দিয়ে এই অঞ্চলের মানুষ পিছিয়ে ছিল। মসজিদের সিঁড়িগুলো ইটের তৈরি ছিল। তবে, বর্তমানে মসজিদটিকে সামান্য আলাদা দেখায়। মসজিদটিতে বিভিন্ন রঙ ব্যবহার করা হলেও লাল এবং সাদা রঙের প্রাধান্য চোখে পড়ে। গলাকাটা মসজিদের নামাজ আদায় করার স্থানটি বেশ বিশালাকারের।
এখানে গলাকাটা দীঘি নামে একটি বিশাল দীঘি রয়েছে। বিকালবেলা পাখিদের কিচিরমিচিরে দীঘির পাড়ে এক প্রশান্তিকর পরিবেশের সৃষ্টি হয়। প্রাকৃতিক সৌন্দর্যে ভরপুর এই দীঘিতে অনেকেই আসেন প্রশান্তি অর্জনের জন্য। দীঘিতে ভ্রমনের জন্য এবং এটির সৌন্দর্য উপভোগের জন্য এখানে বিভিন্ন আকারের নৌকা রয়েছে। এখানে আসলে আপনি বিশাল প্রকৃতিকে দেখে মুগ্ধ না হয়ে পারবেন না। প্রকৃতিকে দেখার পাশাপাশি আপনি দীঘিতে গোসলও করতে পারবেন।

[post_content] => We came to know that Dhaka has passed it's 400 years of Glory. As it was one of the capital of Mughal Empire established in the bank of the river Buriganga, most of its old architectural sites are placed in the old town. Apart from these, there is an Eidgah established in Dhanmondi area 400 years ago which is still in use in the center point of Dhanmondi.
Many people do not aware about it. It is located near Dhanmondi KFC and the shopping mall Anam Rangs Plaza. According to Wikipedia, it was built by Shah Suja, son of Emperor Shah Jahan in 1640. Now the place is in danger because of the negligence of the government to preserve the place as a Historical Monument.

Chini Masjid is located at Syedpur Upazila of Nilphamari district. Saidpur is the northern railway and industrial city of Bangladesh. Chini Masjid is one of the most fascinating and distinctive architect. Chini Masjid is also known as glass Mosque. Chini Masjid or Glass Mosque was established in 1883.
Glass mosque was built in only 1 year which seems unbelievable when we take our eyes to the design of external and internal part. To decorate Chini Masjid, 283 pieces of Cross Marble stones were used. Along with Cross Marble stones, 25 tons small chips of Chinaware-plate and pieces of glass (both color and non-color) porcelain were also used. This mosque has 27 towers from which 5 towers are still incomplete.

Jungle-bari (জঙ্গলবাড়ী) is mainly a fort that is located at the Jungle-bari (জঙ্গলবাড়ী) of Karimganj Upazila (করিমগঞ্জ উপজেলা) of Kishoreganj (কিশোরগঞ্জ). It was the second capital of Isha Khan (ইশা খাঁ). He captured the fort from Lokkhon Shing Hajara (লক্ষন সিং হাজারা) during the battle of Egaro Shindur (এগারো সিন্দুর) with Man Singh (মান সিংহ).
This is known as Jungle-bari Durgo (জঙ্গলবাড়ী দুর্গ), Isha Khar Bari (ইশা খাঁর বাড়ী), etc. to the local people. There is a dilapidated building is still available there. A portion of that building is still being used by the decedents from Isha Kha (ইশা খাঁ).
An archaic mosque is available just beside the Jungle-bari (জঙ্গলবাড়ী) fort. It’s a small rectangular shaped mosque having three domes at the top and four minarets at the four corners. A large pond is available at the eastern side of the mosque.
Most of the Zamindar Bari (জমিদার বাড়ী) from Bangladesh are in a very poor condition. That time the owners were facing difficulties for religious upheaval and other adverse situations, thus they have sensed an urgency to leave this country for their own safety. But fortunately, here they are still living with pride, may be they were too much friendly with the peasants.

Just opposite of the mosque, there is fire station. This building was built during the British reign. This red building of the fire station is very eye catching and make people remember the history of infrastructure of then British Architecture.
