Jamalpur Jame Masjid, Islamic mosque in Thakurgaon District, Bangladesh.
Jamalpur Jame Masjid is a mosque in Thakurgaon District with a rectangular prayer hall surrounded by four minarets. The complex features a spacious courtyard for gatherings and three entrance gates providing access to different sections.
The mosque was founded during the early Mughal period and ranks among the earliest examples of Islamic architecture in Bangladesh. It demonstrates how Islamic building styles took root in the region during this era.
The walls showcase traditional arabesque patterns and floral designs that reflect regional Islamic artistic traditions in Bangladesh. These decorations shape how visitors experience the prayer hall and show artistic styles passed down through many generations.
Access is available daily during prayer times; visitors should remove shoes and wear clothing that covers arms and legs. The courtyard offers space to spend time, and one should be prepared for active worship routines.
