My Visit to a Place of Historical Interest

We have an intention to visit historical places. It has a great educative as well as cultural value. By visiting historical places, we can learn much about the past, past culture and tradition, etc.

I have also a curiosity to visit historical places. I heard much from my near and dear ones that a historical place is a symbol of our past. I had a hope that I would see and learn new things by visiting a historical place. So, once I decided to visit Bagerhat, a great historical place.

I made the visit last December. Then our school was closed and it was a good opportunity for me to fulfil my desire. I visited the Mazar of Khan Jahan Ali at Bagerhat. The Mazar of Khan Jahan Ali stands on a raised ground. The tomb is made of cut stone. Hazrat Pir Khan Jahan Ali came here from Delhi to preach Islam. He died on 25 October 1459. There I saw many things and enjoyed them. There is a big tank in front of the Mazar. There are some crocodiles in this big tank. When the caretaker calls them, they come near. It is very interesting to see this sight. Sometimes, the visitors give the crocodiles something to eat. I also visited the Shat Gambuj Mosque. It stands on sixty pillars and has seventy-seven domes. It looks very beautiful and is known across the country for its beauty and wonder of architecture of the middle age.

The visit really enhanced my outlook. It has inspired me to visit other historical places of our country. We are proud of our historical places.
