About
Quick facts: This is the largest mosque in Bangladesh, capable of holding up to 40,000 worshippers. Its unusual square shape imitates the Kaaba in Mecca, and the inner courtyard can accommodate thousands of people praying.
Highlights: When you first step through the gates, you are enveloped by a peace that contrasts with the bustling noise of Dhaka's streets. During evening prayers, 40,000 voices rise in unison toward the sky, and golden sunset light streams through the large windows.
