Traditional and very old iftar market of Bangladesh. Many says this market started in the mughal period. Very crowdy place, you will get so many food item for iftar. The market bustles with shoppers from all localities while traders display a variety of iftar items from afternoon. The most popular delicacy in Chawkbazar is the "boro baper polay khai", a mixture of chickpeas, brains, minced meat, potatoes, chira, egg, chicken, 13 spices and ghee and jilapi among others. Other famous iftar items include giant beef and chicken roasts, suti kebab (marinated minced meat), shahi doi bora (fried and spiced lentil balls dipped in yoghurt), mutton and chicken cutlet, kima roll (a roll of chopped meat), different types of kebab, kima parata, hilsha eggs, borhani, roasts of pigeon and koyel, bundia, and different kinds of sweetmeats. One thing I should add is, when it’s iftar time then every shop owner offer you their traditional murimakha for free with love.Maybe for just this love I will travel chakbazar again.

Chawkbazar Shahi Mosque (Bengali: চকবাজার শাহী মসজিদ) also known as Chawk Mosque is a mosque located in the Chowk Bazaar area in the old city of Dhaka, Bangladesh.[1] The mosque was constructed in 1664 by Subahdar Shaista Khan.[2] The mosque is known as the Shahi Mosque because it was founded by Subahdar Shaista Khan. The mosque is built above a raised platform. The three domed mosque above the platform, now transformed into a multi-storied structure was originally a copy of Shaista Khan's another three domed mosque at the Mitford Hospital compound near the Buriganga River. There are some square-shaped rooms built for the Imam and for students of the madrasa. Today the original building design has lost much of its original form through multiple renovations and extensions. The mosque is noted for having a rainbow minaret.

A very big mosque. The interior is very beautiful.There are good facilities for reading Islamic books. I like this very much. It's an ancient mosque established by Shayesta Khan in the year of 1676. But due to repeated renovation, it is difficult to find out the original part of the mosque. The mosque was built on a platform; under which; once there was residence of students of Madrasa (students of religious teaching institution). Now a days, there are many wholesale shops under the platform. There are lots of places for ablation. Lots of people can offer prayers here at the same time. The environment is very soothing.

A really large mosque with amazing indoor design. Was able to talk to the Imam, a respectable sincere person. Another thing is that I noticed a grave in one part of the mosque. Didn't have a chance to ask the imam about that. Although I believe it's not a mazar as the Imam felt to be very knowledgeable and he also knows Arabic probably. It is the central mosque and shopkeepers from around the Chowkbazar come here.
