THE SATGOMBUZ MOSQUE
Khan jahan ali’s mazar : the mazar of khan jahan ali stahds on a raised ground. The tomb is made of cut stones. It cannot be accurately said wherefrom these stones were brought. People say that the pir brought these stones from Chittagong by floating on water. But such stones are not available there. On the tomb there are inscriptions in Arabic. On the night of the full noon of the month of chaitra a big fair is held beside the mazar. faqirs and other sufi like people gather here and pass the whole night singing mystic songs.
Khan jahan ali’s tank : there is a big lake like tank in front of the mazar. it has several crocodiles in it. People believe that if they appease the hunger of these crocodiles with hens, cocks or goats, they would have the besire of their heart fulfilled. Whenever anybody makes such offering the care-taker of the mazar call out the crocodiles shouting “kalapar” “dhalapar” came! Within a few minutes the crocodiles make their appearance and swallow the offering. we stayed here about two hours and then left for satgambuz. Thes is about two miles away from the mazar. 
The satgambuz : the satgambuz is a large building. It stanbs on sixty stone pillars with its seventy-seven gambuz or domes and not ‘sat’ or sixty gambuz, as the name indicates. Some say that it was used as a mosque by pir khan jahan ali. Others say that it was used as a darbar by the mughal governor of the place. But it is associated more with pir khan jahan ali’s name than with the name of the governor. It attracts a large number of tourists and visitors every year.The Shatgombuj Mosque is a 15th century Islamic edifice situated in the sububs of Bagerhat on the edge of the Sundarbans, some 175 km southwest of Dhaka. It is an enormous Moghul architectural site covering a very large area. The Mosque is unique in that it has sixty pillars, which support seventy-seven exquisitely curved domes that have worn away with the passege of time. The mausoleum of the city's founder, kKhan Jahan Ali can be found nearby. With the declaration of the mosque as a World Heritage Site,it is hoped that this beautiful architectural monument will be preserved from futher deac
