Mughal mosques in Dhaka
The mosque of Begum Bazar
There is a small room with a curved roof, resembling the Bengali style of "dochala" hut roof, which is quite an interesting architectural feature.
The Mughal mosque of Karwan Bazar
Founded in circa 1680, historians call it the mosque of Khwaja Ambar, stating that Ambar was the "head eunuch" of subahdar Nawab Shaista Khan.
