These are some photos inside the Bashundhara mega shopping centre where I went last week. It is huge - 9 loors, 1,500 stores, plus a movie theatre on the top floor. It was the largest shopping centre in south Asia, but it is now the 2nd largest as a even bigger one is nearing completion just to the north of the Diplomatic areas of Gulshan 2 and Baridhara in Dhaaka. This new one takes up 33 Acres of land is 4 floors high, and contains 2,500 shops. Even though Bangladesh is a very poor country, about 5% of the population have an annual income of more than $150,000 USD, which accounts for over 8 million people, so you can understand why shopping malls and high end retailers are springing up everywhere in Dhaka.
Th photo of the stained glass is actually the roof of the mall, which is a huge glass dome with central stained glass feature.
