Hussaini Dalan, Shia Islamic shrine in Bakshibazar, Bangladesh
The Hussaini Dalan features two parallel halls, ornate blue calligraphy on exterior walls, and octagonal towers crowned with domes at the southern facade.
Built in 1642 by Syed Mir Murad during the Mughal Empire, the structure underwent reconstruction after an earthquake in 1897 with funding from Khwaja Ahsanullah.
The main halls include a black-painted Shirani chamber for mourning ceremonies and a Khutba hall containing a seven-stepped wooden mimbar for religious gatherings.
The shrine complex remains open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with dedicated spaces for prayer halls, a cemetery, and a rectangular pond.
The National Museum of Bangladesh displays a silver replica of the Hussaini Dalan, preserving the architectural details of this religious monument.
