Pagla Jame Masjid, Congregational mosque in Shantiganj Upazila, Bangladesh.

The Pagla Jame Masjid features three large domes and six minarets, built with thick brick walls reaching a height of forty feet.

Construction of the mosque began in 1931 under the direction of businessman Yasin Mirza and required ten years to complete the structure.

The mosque incorporates craftsmanship from various regions, with tiles imported from Italy, Germany, and England, plus stones from Jaipur decorating the mihrab.

Visitors can reach the mosque by taking transportation to Sunamganj and then using local autorickshaws to access the site along the Sylhet-Sunamganj highway.

The entire structure was constructed without steel reinforcement bars, using only bricks and traditional building techniques to create its substantial walls.
