Hello Everyone. I am @shiftitamanna
From #Bangladesh
Greeting my dear steemian friends. Today I am participating in a travel experience contest on the topic "My Adventures". A few days ago I enjoyed a pleasure trip from my village home to visit a special structure which is the famous 201-domed mosque of Bangladesh. So for today's contest I am presenting to you about the place where I did Adventures.
Before starting the adventures I would like to give a brief description of the places we visited. We originally went to visit the 201 Dome Mosque which is a spectacular mosque located in South Pathalia Village of Nagda Shimla Union in Gopalpur Upazila of Tangail District, Bangladesh. This mosque is recognized as the mosque with the most domes and the second tallest minarets in the world. The mosque is designed as a complete mosque complex with 201 domes and 9 minarets and the mosque is still under construction. However, sometime before afternoon we hired an auto rickshaw and left for 201 Dome Mosque.
In the afternoon the beauty of the nature was magnified by the sweet light of the sun on the way and we were thoroughly enjoying our journey. The scenery on both sides of the road always fascinated us. During the autorickshaw ride, I took several videos and photographs of the road. We were all very happy as we enjoyed every moment of our journey with this beautiful nature.
After driving the autorickshaw for some time along the highway we entered the village road and the road there was a bit narrow and broken and we were a little late in reaching our destination. The auto rickshaw driver was driving the auto rickshaw very carefully due to which we got a little delay from year to year in our destination. After traveling for about 40 minutes, we reached a river near the 201 Dome Mosque. It was a narrow river and the name of the river was Jhinai.
After reaching jhinai river we saw two engineless boats there and we boarded these boats and crossed the small river. The interesting thing here is that the boatman used a novel method to cross the river. He tied a strong rope from one end of the river to the other and crossed the river by pulling the rope. It took 5 BDT or 0.23 Steem per person to cross the river by boat.
After crossing the boat we arrived directly in front of the mosque. Originally, 201 Dome Mosque was located on the bank of the river, so we moved to the mosque very easily from the bank of the river. At first sight the mosque looked wonderful to us and indeed the mosque looks very beautiful. Then we all go together in front of the mosque and see its beauty and architecture.
Spend some time in front of the mosque and read a banner there to get some more ideas about this mosque. I took individual and group photos in front of the mosque. At the same time we were enjoying the stunning beauty of the mosque from the front of the mosque. We first went around the 4 sides of the mosque and observed the exterior and then we all got together and decided that we would go to the top of the mosque and enjoy the beauty there.
However, there were some guidelines for entering the mosque and one of them was that there were different paths for men and women to climb up the mosque. Then we all entered inside the mosque together. The interior of the mosque looked very nice and beautiful which I liked much more than the first time I saw it. Then we reached the top of the mosque by climbing the narrow stairs between the minarets on one side of the mosque.
After climbing the stairs of the minaret to the roof of the mosque when I saw the domes directly I liked the view to tell the truth. After I climbed to the roof of the mosque, I entered the minaret on one side of the roof of the mosque to get a better view of the domes of the mosque and climbed up the stairs and at one point, the domes of the mosque were clearly visible to me. Then I enjoyed the view there and took some photography there with my mobile.
After some time on top of the minaret of the mosque, when I got a good view of the complete domes, then I again went down the stairs inside the minaret of the mosque to the roof of the mosque. Then I saw the domes covering the roof of the mosque very closely which I liked much more.
While looking at the domes of the mosque, I took several pictures with the domes. At the same time I stayed on the roof of the mosque for a long time. My husband and my brothers and sisters along with me were all mesmerized by the beauty of the mosque. Then everyone was photographing the beautiful scenery around the mosque including the dome on the roof of the mosque on everyone's mobile phone.
To be honest we were all very excited when we got to the roof of the mosque as my husband and some of my siblings who came with me were here for the first time. After spending some time on the roof of the mosque, I again approached the minaret at one end of the mosque and then climbed the stairs a second time to the top of the minaret.
Although the afternoon was over and the evening was coming we had little time to spend on the roof of the mosque. Still I took pictures and visited the dome of the mosque and the surroundings of the mosque while I was there. At one point I made a short video of one of the domes from the top of the minaret. Then one time we finished wandering and came down from the roof of the mosque in the evening and spent some more time in front of the mosque and went to a small bazaar next to the mosque.

201 Going to the bazaar in front of the Dome Mosque, we saw children's toys and household items such as bones, pots, spoons, etc. being sold. As the evening came we decided to go back home without delaying there and started again in an auto rickshaw for home and thus we had an enjoyable travel experience.
