Historical Importance
Bagha Mosque has an impact on us.It is interesting to note that the additional prayer chamber created by means of a raised platform in the north-west corner within the building appears to have been an exclusive gallery for the governor who ruled the area as a nominee of the reigning sultan.

Famous quotes containing the words importance and/or historical:
“Kitsch is the daily art of our time, as the vase or the hymn was for earlier generations.

The Rocky Mountains have resembled fake art for a century.”
