Mosque of the week: Khan Muhammad Mirdha’s Mosque

This time our virtual journey goes to the city of Dhaka in Bangladesh. Built in 1706 the Khan Muhammad Mirdha’s Mosque is probably named after its architect. 25 steps lead to the entry of the Mosque that is situated within a wider area that also contains many rooms for living purpose. The prayer hall is capped by three beautiful designed domes. The mosque is still used as a religious school and does attract many tourists as there is a special arcaded hall for visitors.
