What you can see and do
This mosque with three domes stands at Bajra in Sonaimuri upazila. Zamindar Amanullah built it in 1741-42. Emperor Muhammad Shah was on the Mughal throne at the time. Its most striking feature is the broken-china mosaic that covers the walls and domes. With a large pond in front and an ornate gateway, the whole compound is well preserved.
How to get there
Take a bus or CNG about 20 km from Maijdee along the Dhaka road, get down at Bajra bazar and walk a short way.
