Visiting an historical place or an old relic like the Shat Gombuj Mosque is an important part of education. It helps us to improve our knowledge, widen our outlook, give us joy and helps to remove the monotony of our routine works. During the last summer vacation I got a chance to visit the Shat Gombuj Mosque. I went there with my elder brother. We went there by bus. The world famous mosque is located on the eastern side of the tank named "Ghoradighi" at Bagerhat in Khulna.
The mosque was built/founded by a great muslim saint named Khan Jahan Ali in the middle of 15th century. It has 77 domes including 7 4 sided domes. That is why it is called Shat Gombuj Mosque.
It has a vast prayer hall. The prayer hall was also used as the court of Khan Jahan Ali. The design and the beauty of Shat Gombuj Mosque is matchless. The Mazar of Khan Jahan Ali lies near the mosque.
There are a lot of large crocodiles in the tank. We met hundreds of boys and girls who came to visit mosque from different schools and colleges. I gained a new experience and new knowledge about a new place in our country. So in order to broaden and increase knowledge, any student should visit the historical mosque on holidays.
