VISIT TO A PLACE OF HISTORICAL INTEREST

A visit to a historical place is both interesting and instructive. It helps us to know the past.

I paid a visit to Bagerhat. It is famous for the Mazar of Khan Jahan Ali and the Shat Gambuj Mosque.

Our school was closed for autumn vacation. Biplop, one of my friends suggested that we should go out for a travel for a few days. The idea was good and we decided to visit Bagerhat.

We started our journey in a bus. At 7.A.M. We started our journey from Pabna and reached Jessore at 12.00 a.m. At Jessore bus stand we got into another bus. We reached Bagerhat at 4.00 p.m.

Khan Jahan Ali was a great saint. It is generally agreed that he came from Delhi to Sunderbans region to preach Islam. The Mazar of Khan Ali stands on a raised ground. The Shat Gambuj Mosque stands on the eastern side of Goradeghi. Though it is called Shat Gombuj Mosque, it has actually seventy seven domes. It was built in 1440 A.D. It was used as the prayer hall and court of Khan Jahan Ali. The tomb is made of cut out stones.

There are two tanks in Bagerha. One is called Goradeghi and the other is called Dargadhigi. Dargadhigi is near the Mazar of Khan Jahan Ali. It has crocodiles in it.We visited these places and offered fateha at the mazar of Khan Jahan Ali. We spent five hours in visiting these two places of historical interest. We saw in our eyes what we had read in books.The memory of this visit will remain ever fresh in my mind.
