Hello friends, I hope you are all well. For the third week of the Steemit Challenge contest, I will be sharing my urban discovery journey. I would like to thank the organizers of this challenge, and without further delay, I am starting my participation.

^{With my discovery card}

What kind of religious cultural place have you visited? Introduce briefly.

I have visited our local place of worship, the Bashir Muhammad Subedar Jame Mosque. I perform my regular prayers here, and the prayers are conducted according to Islamic Sufi Sunni rules. According to our village area, there is enough space in this mosque for all the worshipers to perform Salat together.

It is located near the Dhaka-Chattogram main highway, adjacent to one banks in the Labag area. It was built in such an area that the public coming for work from outside can easily find the mosque. The mosque gates remain open during the 5 daily prayer times. Although the gate is closed for some time at night, it is reopened for the morning prayer.

It was built in 2020. Initially, it was constructed as a temporary mosque because an initiative was taken to build another large mosque for our area; however, it was later established as a regular mosque for the locality according to subsequent needs. It is built with walls surrounding a tin-shaded roof.

What kind of religious activities are seen here?

Prayers for Eid-ul-Fitr, Eid-ul-Azha, and special religious days like Shab-e-Barat and Shab-e-Meraj, as well as funeral prayers (Janaza) for locals, Taraweeh are held here. During Eid prayers, if the number of worshipers increases, arrangements are made to perform Salat on the outside veranda. I visit this mosque regularly several times to perform my prayers.

Speaking of the structure of the Subedar Jame Mosque, it is very sturdy and designed with a peaceful environment in mind. Although it looks like a small tin-shed mosque, its structure was designed by a skilled engineer.

High-quality materials have been used for everything, starting from the upper ceiling. The entire structure is made by welding thick iron pipes and steel angles. Under the tin shed, a type of foam is used, and beneath that, a bamboo fence shed is placed so that the internal temperature does not feel too hot during the heat.

Although there are no tiles where the Salat is performed, the flooring is made of smooth cement, which stays very cool, allowing one to pray comfortably without any inconvenience. However, during winter, a type of carpet is provided so that worshipers can offer their prayers comfortably in the cold. Approximately 450-500 people can perform prayers under this shed at once.

The structure was designed considering everything needed for a comfortable prayer environment, and all necessities have been kept here. There are numerous high-quality fans on the entire ceiling, ensuring no difficulty in performing Salat during the summer heat.

	Low-noise fans for a cool breeze
	Spot lighting at regular intervals along the prayer rows
	Silver-coated ceilings for heat reduction during summer

The bamboo ceiling has a silver-colored coating, which you can see in the pictures; this is primarily to reduce the heat from the tin. Many lights have been placed throughout the mosque so there is no difficulty in performing night prayers; they look somewhat like spotlights but are quite bright.
