Om
Raske fakta: Kuppelenes antall er faktisk 81, ikke ni som navnet antyder. Bygningen ble oppført på 1400-tallet av den tyrkisk-bengalske arkitekten Khan Jahan Ali, og murverket består av lokalt brente teglstein som fortsatt står imponerende intakt.
Høydepunkter: De 81 kuplene er arrangert i et geometrisk mønster som minner om et sjakkbrett sett fra luften. Innendørs filtreres sollyset gjennom små vindusåpninger og skaper et rolig, melankolsk lys over de massive teglsteinsøylene.
Insidertips
- Walk around the building to see the small niches and detailed terracotta decorations that many rush past.
- Take off your shoes at the entrance and bring a thin sock sole, as the stone floor can be cold.
- Visit first at around 8 o'clock in the morning to have the place almost entirely to yourself.
- The large artificial water basin next to the mosque is perfect for reflection photos, especially in low light.
