Hooghly Imambara, Islamic shrine in Hugli-Chinsurah, India
The Hooghly Imambara stretches along the western bank of the Ganges River, incorporating two clock towers and multiple prayer halls within its structure.
Constructed in 1841 under Haji Mohammad Mohsin's direction, the Imambara replaced an older structure from 1717 to better serve the Muslim population.
The Imambara functions as both a mosque and gathering center, where Shia Muslims congregate for religious ceremonies and educational activities.
The complex opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with separate prayer areas for men and women, plus a dedicated space for religious education.
The building contains a clock mechanism from 1852 with weights descending through all three floors to maintain accurate timekeeping.
