Kusumba Mosque, Stone mosque in Naogaon District, Bangladesh

The rectangular stone mosque features six domes arranged in two aisles and three bays, with octagonal corner towers and curved cornices on its exterior walls.

Built in 1558 during the Afghan rule period under Ghiyasuddin Bahadur Shah, the mosque was commissioned by a high-ranking official named Sulaiman in Bengal.

The interior mihrabs display intricate stone carvings depicting natural elements such as grapes and vines, reflecting the fusion of Islamic and Bengali artistic traditions.

The Department of Archaeology of Bangladesh maintains the mosque, which includes multiple entrances on the east, north, and south sides for visitor access.

The mosque contains a raised platform with its own mihrab in the northwest corner, indicating a designated prayer space for dignitaries during worship.
