Jahaj Bari - the boat house

One of the famous landmarks in Dhaka is this red house with a tall tower like minaret right on the Dhanmondi lake. The locals call it “Jahaj Bari”(boat house). The huge structure with its domes reminded us of Disneyland’s Magic Kingdom  palaces.

This magnificent palace is owned by Sher-e-Khwaja - a religious leader and business tycoon. Must have been a pretty productive religion...
