Baro Shona Masjid, Monument of National Importance in Ramkeli, India.

The largest mosque in Gaur-Lakhnauti stands as a rectangular structure measuring 50 meters by 23 meters with four corner towers and eleven entrances.

Sultan Alauddin Husain Shah initiated the construction of this Indo-Arabic mosque, which his son Nasiruddin Nasrat Shah completed in 1526.

The mosque incorporates stone carvings, glazed colored tiles, and floral designs that frame the doors, reflecting the architectural traditions of Bengal.

Located half a kilometer south of Ramkeli and 12 kilometers south of Malda, the mosque maintains its original structure despite the loss of many domes.

The name Baroduari suggests twelve doors, yet the mosque contains eleven entrances, leading to a lengthy verandah supported by broad stone piers.

Location: English Bazar community development block

Inception: 1526
