About Choto Katra
Choto Katra (Bengali: ছোট কাটারা; Small Katra) is one of two Katras built during Mughal rule in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was constructed in 1663 by Subahdar Shaista Khan. It is on the Hakim Habibur Rahman lane on the bank of the Buriganga River. It was built to accommodate officials and Shaista Khan's expanding family. Chhota Katra is slightly smaller than the Bara Katra, but similar in plan and about 185 m (607 ft) east of it.
