Introduction
A mosque built in the first half of the 19th century by Mirza Golam Pir and redecorated in 1926 by Ali Jan Bepari with blue star-motif Chinitikri tiles; two more domes were added in 1987. With its five domes set in a narrow Old Dhaka lane it is one of the most photogenic religious buildings in Dhaka and has appeared on the Bangladeshi 100-taka note.

How to get there
From anywhere in Dhaka take a bus towards Gulistan/Old Dhaka, then a rickshaw to Abul Khairat Road, Armanitola; combine it with a Lalbagh Fort and Ahsan Manzil walk.
The honest truth about costs

What you will need to budget for
- Getting there (bus, train, launch or air fare)
