Bagha Mosque, Islamic monument in Bagha Upazila, Bangladesh.

The rectangular mosque features five entrance arches on its eastern facade, with ten domes supported by four stone pillars and walls measuring 2.22 meters thick.

Sultan Nusrat Shah commissioned the construction of this mosque in 1523, and after damage from an 1897 earthquake, workers rebuilt the collapsed domes.

The terracotta ornamentation displays intricate patterns with floral motifs, tendrils, and grape clusters on the walls, mihrabs, and archways throughout the structure.

Two arched gateways provide access to the mosque compound, which stands elevated 8-10 feet above ground level within a brick-walled enclosure.

The mosque contains a raised private prayer chamber in the northwestern corner, built specifically for use by local governors during the Sultanate period.
