Churihatta Mosque, Dhaka
The Churihatta Mosque is placed between the Water Works at Chandnighat and The Chawk Mosque in Dhaka. A Persian inscription says that the mosque was erected by Muhammad Beg in 1650 during the rule of Shah Shuja. The mosque has been renovated and modified since that time, so it looks much like a modern building now. It is completely covered with a chau-chala vault which is why it serves as an example of Bungalow building type from the Mughal period. Don’t miss the opportunity to discover this historic spot.
