Chawkbazar Shahi Mosque, Religious center in Chowk Bazaar district, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Chawkbazar Shahi Mosque is a three-domed structure with multiple levels in the heart of Old Dhaka. The central prayer hall connects to additional rooms where religious instruction and community gatherings take place.

Subahdar Shaista Khan ordered its construction in 1664 as a place for Islamic worship in Dhaka. The structure became an important focal point in the city's religious life from the start.

The Persian inscription over a door carries the poetic name "Talib", a pen name of Shaista Khan, and gives the Hijri year 1086 (1675–76). The three-domed prayer room is ringed by a veranda that, lacking a separate library building, likely served for open-air teaching. Vaulted rooms under the platform, with wall shelving beneath the galleries, are thought to have housed teachers and madrasa students.

The mosque stands in Chawkbazar, Old Dhaka, at 23.716°N 90.396°E. It sits on a raised platform reached by steps, with vaulted rooms beneath; visitors should look for the stairway up to the prayer level. The central mihrab is octagonal and survives restorations.

The vaulted rooms beneath the raised platform, fitted with wall-to-wall bookshelves under a bamboo frame, are thought to have housed teachers and students of a madrasa, making this possibly the earliest known example of a combined residential-madrasa-mosque in Bengal.
