Star mosque is a very beautiful mosque of the city situated at Armanitola, in the old part of Dhaka City . In faultless Mughal style architecture, it is a five -dome mosque with hundreds of big and small twinkling stars as surface decorations. The stars have been created by setting pieces or chinaware on white cement. Seen from the front and from far it looks as if it were shining above the surface of the earth. The inside or the mosque is even more beautiful than the outside, with a lovely mosaic floor and excellent tiles with many floral patterns set on the walls, all in complete harmony.
