A Historical Place I Have Visited / A Historical Place / A Place of Great Historical Interest

A historical place means a place which bears the testimony (সাক্ষ্য) of history. It surely has some important past events worth notable (উল্লেখযোগ্য) in history. A visit to a historical place is not only interesting and exiting but also educative (শিক্ষণীয়). It is my spontaneous (স্বতঃস্ফূর্ত) habit to visit the historical places of our country whenever I get time and chance because it gives me much pleasure. Last winter, I visited Bagerhat, a historical place. The place is famous for the Shat Gombuj Mosque and the Mazar of Khan Jahan Ali. I along with my two friends started our journey on the fixed day, and reached the destination (গন্তব্য) after an eight hours' journey. When we reached there, it was night. So, we spent the night at a residential (আবাসিক) hotel in Bagerhat. Next morning we went out to visit the Shat Gombuj Mosque and the Majar of Khan Jahan Ali. It is three miles away from Bagerhat and we reached there by rickshaw. We were surprised to see the architectural structures of the mosque. It stands on sixty pillars and has seventy seven exquisitely (চমৎকারভাবে) curved domes (খোদাইকৃত গম্ভুজ). The area of mosque is very large and charming. There is a long tank near the mosque named ‘Ghoradighi’. The mosque has been declared as a world heritage site (বিশ্ব ঐতিহ্যমণ্ডিত স্থান). In fact, this mosque is one of the greatest tourist attractions of Bangladesh. We came to know that this mosque was used not only as a prayer hall but also as a court of justice. We also felt ecstasy (পরমানন্দ) to see the unique design of the Mazar of Khan Jahan Ali. It stands on a raised ground. The tomb is made of cutting stone. There is a big tank in front of the mazar. There are some crocodiles in this big tank. When the caretaker called them, they came near. It was very interesting. Then we visited many social works of Khan Jahan Ali such as roads, public buildings, etc. It was a great pleasure for me to be at Bagerhat. It was indeed a rewarding visit. The sweet memory of this visit will remain ever fresh in my mind.
