The architectural beauty of Bagha mosque.

in r2cornell •  2 years ago 

This is one of the ancient buildings of Bangla. The architectural significance makes it more attractive to tourists. There is only a handful of 'Terracotta' designed buildings that are still standing. Though there are different areas where renovation work is done. But the main building is the same as 500 years old.

History and detail.

The mosque is located in Rajshahi, Bangladesh. It was built in 1523-1524 (930 AH) by Sultan Nusrat Shah, son of Alauddin Shah, the founder of the Husain Shahi dynasty. There are 10 domes but I came to know that, many collapsed in the past and most of them are renovated. Terracotta designs are present everywhere inside and outside the mosque. This is what makes it different and attractive. The innumerable terracotta handicrafts were inspired by Persian carving.
