Bibi Maryam Masjid, Mughal mosque in Hajiganj, Bangladesh

The Bibi Maryam Masjid features three domes with a central one larger than the others, decorated with basal leaf patterns and battlemented merlons.

Built between 1664 and 1688 by Nawab Shaista Khan, the Mughal subadar of Bengal, the mosque formed part of a fortified complex with four-foot-wide walls.

The mosque functions as a primary religious center for the local Sunni Muslim community, hosting daily prayers and religious gatherings throughout the year.

Recent renovations in 2001 added a first floor and eastern veranda supported by masonry pillars, modifying the original structural design of the building.

The mosque bears the name of Bibi Maryam, daughter of Nawab Shaista Khan, whose tomb lies near the religious structure.
