Chawk Masjid, Islamic mosque in Murshidabad, India.

The Chawk Masjid extends 38 meters in length and features seven hemispherical domes, with the central dome standing taller than the others.

The mosque was constructed in 1767 under the supervision of Shaikh Khalilullah, commissioned by Munni Begum, wife of Nawab Mir Jafar.

The mosque displays intricate stucco decorations with floral motifs and arabesques across its facade, following traditional Bengali Mughal architectural elements.

Located southeast of Hazarduari Palace, the mosque maintains regular prayer services and includes a walled courtyard accessible through an eastern portal.

The structure contains two end domes shaped like Tazia and includes octagonal pavilions at each corner of its enclosure wall.
