Hossaini Dalan at Old Dhaka City

Husaini Dalan a Shiite place of worship in the old part of the city of DHAKA, accredited to the Mughal era. It is a general perform among the Shia community to build edifices to memorialize the martyrdom of al-Husain, at the battle of Karbala in Iraq on the tenth day of Muharram 61 AH (10 October 680 AD). The building seems to have been initially erected by one Sayyid Murad during the governorship of SHAH SHUJA, who, even though he a Sunni was eager to preserve and patronize Shiite institutions. civilization recount that Sayyid Murad, having seen al-Husain in a vision erecting a tazia khana (house of mourning), was inspired to raise the building, which he named Husaini Dalan. The original building may have been a small constitution, lengthened to its present form in later times. The EAST INDIA COMPANY repaired it in 1807 and 1810, and a division of the building was reconstructed after the volcanic action of 1897.
