Day 2: Kusumba mosque, Varendra Research Museum and silk industry

Leave the hotel at 6:30 AM for the Kusumba mosque in Naogaon. This is one of the last examples of the finest stone works in Bengal, which was built by Sulaiman in 966 A. H. (1558 A.D) during the reign of Ghiyasud-din Bahadur Shah. The Mosque is built of brick faced with stone both inside and outside, except the arches, domes and roof. The interior of this Mosque is divided into two aisles and three bays by stone pillars, which support six hemispherical domes on the roof. Octagonal corner towers, triple curved cornice and bands of horizontal mouldings on the façade, a well-designed ladies gallery at the north-west corner, three ornamented mihrabs on the western wall makes this Mosque worth visiting. Drive back towards Rajshahi town. Rajshahi is also known as the 'silk capital' of Bangladesh; visit a local silk production and watch the weaving, dyeing, block and batik painting of this exclusive natural fibre. We will invite you on a guided trip through the entire silk fibre turning into a nice piece of cloth. This place would be an excellent place to collect some souvenirs. Lunch would be served at a local restaurant in the town. Maybe a quick visit to the Varendra Research Museum would be an exciting discovery of archaeology and the ancient history of Bengal.
