Darasbari Mosque, 15th-century Islamic monument in Chapai Nawabganj District, Bangladesh.

The rectangular brick structure measures 34 meters by 20.6 meters with seven pointed-arch openings leading to the main prayer hall through the east entrance.

Sultan Shamsuddin Yusuf Shah commissioned this mosque in 1479, marking it as the third largest religious building in the ancient city of Gaur-Lakhnauti.

The eleven mihrabs within the prayer hall include two designated areas in the royal gallery, reflecting the social hierarchy of medieval Bengali Islamic society.

The mosque stands one kilometer southwest of Kotwali Gate and maintains regular prayer schedules while welcoming visitors interested in architectural photography.

Terracotta plaques adorn the western and southern exterior walls beneath the cornice, displaying the regional artistry of Bengal's Islamic period.
