Khan Mohammad Mridha Mosque

Khan Mohammad Mridha Mosque is a Mughal-era religious building in Old Dhaka featuring three rounded domes atop a rectangular structure. The edifice sits on an elevated platform and has slender towers at each corner.

The mosque was built in 1704 at the commission of a wealthy merchant seeking to leave a lasting legacy of faith. This construction took place during a period when such religious buildings shaped the character of Dhaka.

The mosque is named after a wealthy merchant who built it as a sign of his religious devotion. Beyond prayer, the space served the community as a center for religious learning and instruction.

Visitors climb an exterior stairway on the eastern side to reach the elevated prayer hall where the main religious activities take place. The raised platform provides a vantage point overlooking the surrounding lanes of Old Dhaka.

Beneath the elevated platform lie vaulted chambers extending on three sides that once served as living spaces. These hidden rooms are a fascinating part of the structure that many visitors overlook.
