Anderkilla Shahi Jame Mosque, Mughal mosque in Chittagong, Bangladesh.
The Anderkilla Shahi Jame Mosque displays three minarets and marble construction, incorporating Indo-Islamic features with traditional Mughal design elements.
Built in 1667 under the direction of Buzurg Umed Khan, the mosque was temporarily used as a British military storage facility before returning to religious use in 1855.
The mosque carries Persian inscriptions commissioned by Shaista Khan, the Subahdar of Bengal, reflecting the strong Persian influence in regional Islamic architecture.
With a capacity exceeding 5,000 people, the mosque maintains regular prayer schedules and welcomes visitors outside of worship times.
The name Anderkilla derives from its location in the inner fort area, positioned strategically on an elevated site in Chittagong.
