Islamganthi Mosque (Bengali: ইসলামগাঁথী মসজিদ, Arabic: مسجد إسلامغاتي), also spelt Islamganti Mosque (Bengali: ইসলামগাঁতী মসজিদ), is a medieval three-domed Islamic place of worship in northern Bangladesh's Naogaon District. The seventeenth-century mosque dates back to the Mughal period.[1]
Location
[edit]The mosque is located in the village of Islamganthi, in Bisha Union, Atrai Upazila, Naogaon District. It lies on the banks of the Atrai River.[1]
History
[edit]Although the history of this mosque is shrouded in history, locals believe that it was constructed over 500 years ago within the span of a single night. Researchers have hypothesised that the mosque was constructed by Islam Khan I during his term as the Mughal Subahdar of Bengal which lasted between 1608 and 1613. Many villages in the area are named after the governor.[2]
Description
[edit]The mosque has three circular domes which lie on top of the mosque's three rooms respectively.[1]
