Om
Raske fakta: Over 60 kupler kroner taket på denne enorme moskeen fra 1400-tallet, men det er faktisk 81 små kupler inni. De tykke murene og 60 søylene skaper en utrolig kjølig atmosfære, selv under Bangledeshs brennende sol.
Høydepunkter: Hemmeligheten ligger i veggene: over 2 meter tykke murstein oppsuger dagens varme og utstråler den om natten, så gulvet forblir behagelig kjølig. Hver av de 60 søylene er plassert med matematisk presisjon, så lyset faller akkurat riktig gjennom de smale buene og skaper et skiftende mønster av skygger og sol gjennom dagen.
Insidertips
- Walk around to the back of the mosque to see the beautiful ponds, where locals still bathe and wash clothes as they did 600 years ago.
- Take off your shoes at the entrance and bring a pair of socks, as the stones can get very hot in the afternoon.
- The best photo opportunity is from the northeastern angle, where the domes reflect in the water.
- Combine your visit with the nearby mausoleum building, which is only a 5 minute walk away.
