The Islamganthi Mosque (Bengali: ইসলামগাঁথী মসজিদ; Arabic: مسجد إسلامغاتي), and also known as the Islamganthi Jame Mosque, and sometimes spelled as the Islamganti Mosque (Bengali: ইসলামগাঁতী মসজিদ), is a Sunni Friday mosque, located in the village of Islamganthi, in Bisha Union, Atrai Upazila, Naogaon District, in the Rajshahi Division of Bangladesh. The seventeenth-century mosque dates from the Mughal era,[1] and is situated on the banks of the Atrai River.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]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]
Architecture
[edit | edit source]The mosque has three circular domes which sit on top of each of the mosque's three rooms.[1]
