Religion

Dhaka is renowned as the 'City of Mosques.' Islam is the predominant religion, and the **Baitul Mukarram National Mosque** stands as its grandest architectural symbol. Historic mosques like the **Star Mosque (Tara Masjid)** and **Bait Ur Rouf** highlight diverse architectural styles. Hinduism is the second-largest religion, with the 12th-century **Dhakeshwari National Temple** being the most significant center of worship. Christianity and Buddhism also have vibrant communities; notable sites include the 17th-century **Holy Rosary Church** in Tejgaon, the historic **Armenian Church** in Old Dhaka, and the **Dhammarajika Bauddha Bihar**.
