Writer's picture: Fakhruddin BabarFakhruddin Babar

Myself: Hey, I’ve made up my mind to explore Bagerhat. Have you ever been there?

Friend: Wow, great decision! Yeah, I had the opportunity to visit Bagerhat last autumn with my dad.

Myself: What drew you to Bagerhat?

Friend: It's a place of great historical significance. People from all around the world come to see the Shat-Gambuj Mosque, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Myself: Does it have any historical value?

Friend: Absolutely! Have you ever heard of Khan Jahan Ali?

Myself: Yes, I know he was a prominent saint in the subcontinent.

Friend: Do you know his full name?

Myself: To be honest, I don't. What is it?

Friend: His full name is Ulug Khan Jahan Ali.

Myself: So, what did you explore when you were there?

Friend: I visited the Shat Gumbuj Mosque, Ghora Dighi, and the mausoleum of Khan Jahan Ali.

Myself: What fascinated you the most?

Friend: The Shat Gumbuj Mosque was the highlight of my trip - a masterpiece of architecture by Khan Jahan Ali himself.

Myself: Could you elaborate on the mosque's uniqueness?

Friend: It's unique because it has sixty pillars supporting seventy-seven exquisitely curved domes. Khan Jahan Ali used it as a mosque and a court.

Myself: Did he build anything else there?

Friend: He also built a large freshwater tank next to his mausoleum for the local people. There were two crocodiles called 'Kala Pahar and Dhala Pahar', but they are no longer there.

Myself: How was your overall experience?

Friend: It was an amazing experience. I learned so much about our country's past. The memories of my visit still linger in my mind.

Myself: Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience.

Friend: You're always welcome. Have a great trip!
