Star Mosque : A very beautiful mosque of the city is situated at
Mahuttuly on Abul Khairat Rd; just west of Armanitola Govt. High School.
Architecturally faultless (Mughal style) is a five-dome mosque with
hundreds of big and small twinkling stars as surface decorations. The
stars have been created by setting pieces of chinaware on white cement.
Seen from the front and from far it looks as if shining above the
surface of the earth. The inside of it is even more beautiful that the
outside, lovely mosaic floor and excellent tiles with many floral
patterns set on the walls, are all in complete harmony. The sitara
Masjid was built originally with three domes in early 18th century by
Mirza Ghulam Pir, a highly respectable Zamindar of Dhaka.
