[edit] Sixty pillar mosque?

Isn't this supposed to be the Sixty Dome Mosque? UNESCO, Banglapedia and Department of archeology seems to have accepted Shat (or Shait, meaning sixty) Gumbad (meaning a dome) Masjid (meaning a mosue) or the Sixty Dome Mosque as the name. There are examples of sources calling it Sixty Pillar Mosque, probably on the premise that the actual number of domes is 77 and the number of pillars is 60, or Sixty Minar Mosque, which seems to be nothing bu mis-translation. These sources are few, and not as authoritative as UNESCO and the government department. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 14:57, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Let's follow UNESCO and Banglapedia. :) --Ragib (talk) 19:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
