Wonderful place and architecture @AkterAshik

Photos are nicely captured too.

And, if you attribute the style as either Mughal or British due to the stilted arches, here’s an update.

The Hindu Temple in Bhitargaon in India had stilted arches way back in the 5th century,

So, you may want to update the title to Hindu architecture.

Thank You, So as a local from Sonargaon ( Where Panam Nagar Located ) , This craftsmanship, architecture, all came from the combined Mughal, British and Muslim kings,Baro Bhuiyans, zamindars, so cannot be specifically called Hindu architecture.
