Baitul Mukarram is
the national mosque of Bangladesh. Located at the heart
of Dhaka, capital of Bangladesh, this mosque was founded
in the 1960s. The structure resembles the Kaaba in
Mecca.
The mosque complex was designed by architect T Abdul
Hussain Thariani. The National Mosque of Bangladesh has
several modern architectural features, and at the same
time it beautifully preserves the traditional principles
of mosques architecture. Baitul Mukarram’s resemblance
to the famous Ka'abah at Makkah makes this a unique
mosque in Bangladesh.
