My Dear ‘Abid’

Your sweet note anchored my heart. I am getting on well with my studies. Today I am going to write to you about the excursion which we have recently made from our school. Our school authority has decided to make a short trip to Bagerhat. Accordingly we did it.

It is a place of historical in Bangladesh. By train I reached Bagerhat. I hired a rickshaw and went to visit the Shat Gambuj Mosque. During our visit to that historical place, we have come to know about many interesting things. The mosque was built in 1440 by Khan Jahan Ali, a preacher of Islam. The area of Shat Gambuj Mosque is very big. The mosque is beautifully decorated with terracota flowers, foliage and plain architecture. It stands on sixty pillars. It was 77 domes instead of 60 domes. The inside walls are very thick and flowers are painted on it. It is a work of great art and engineering skill of the period. There is a prayer house which is beautifully decorated. I also visited the largest tanks known as Dargadighi and Ghoradighi near the mosque. I was wondered at the sight of all these activities of human beings in the days long past. I think this description will tempt you to pay a visit the place.

No more today. Please write to me soon. With love.

Yours ever,

Tahseen

My Dear ‘Abid’

I hope this letter finds you in good health. Last weekend, I visited the historic Sixty Dome Mosque (Shat Gombuj Masjid) in Bagerhat, and I couldn’t wait to share my experience with you.

This mosque, built by Khan Jahan Ali in the 15th century, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of Islamic architecture. As I approached the site, I was captivated by its grandeur. The mosque is made of terracotta bricks and has 60 beautifully carved domes, which give it a unique and majestic appearance.

Inside the mosque, the atmosphere was serene and peaceful. The arches and columns, arranged in perfect symmetry, created an awe-inspiring view. Each corner of the mosque told a story of its rich history, and the intricate designs on the walls were a testament to the craftsmanship of that era. I learned that the mosque also served as a center for education and a gathering place for the community in ancient times.

Outside the mosque, there was a large pond surrounded by lush greenery. It added to the tranquil environment and made the visit even more special. I spent some time sitting by the pond, reflecting on the history and beauty of the place.

Visiting the Sixty Dome Mosque was like taking a step back in time. I wish you had been there with me to experience it firsthand. Let’s plan a trip together sometime soon!

Take care and write back soon.

Yours ever,

Tahseen
