Short answers, pulled from the story.
The Dhanmondi Shahi Eidgah was built in 1640 CE during the reign of the Mughal Empire. This sacred space was commissioned by Mir Abul Qasim, a high-ranking Diwan serving under Shah Shuja, the subahdar of Bengal.
The Dhanmondi Shahi Eidgah features a massive platform that rises four to six feet above the surrounding ground and measures 148 feet by 137 feet. The western wall stands fifteen feet high and contains a five-foot deep four-centred and stilted arched semi-octagonal Mihrab.
The Dhanmondi Shahi Eidgah is located in Dhaka and covers approximately 3.5 bighas of land. The site was originally situated beside a river branch that flowed directly next to the structure during the Mughal period.
The Dhanmondi Shahi Eidgah is under threat due to the construction of a six-storeyed mosque on its premises without approval from Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha. Conservationists fear that rig vibrations from the construction have compromised the structural integrity of the ancient monument.
The Dhaka Metropolitan Building Rules of 2008 mandate that any development within a 250-metre radius of an archaeological and heritage site must receive permission from the government's high-powered Nagar Unnayan Committee. These rules require plan approval from the Rajuk Building Committee before any construction can proceed.
