Nayabad Mosque, Religious structure in Nayabad village, Dinajpur District, Bangladesh
The Nayabad Mosque is a rectangular building measuring 12.45 meters by 5.5 meters, fitted with three domes, octagonal corner towers, and three arched entrances positioned on one side. The structure displays architectural features typical of mosque design from this era.
The mosque was built in 1793 during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II, when Raja Baidyanath governed the region as a local Zamindar. This construction period coincided with a phase of active building in Bengal.
Local residents maintain a venerated grave site on the mosque grounds, traditionally linked to Kalu Khan, a master builder also connected to the nearby Kantaji Temple. This shared reverence shows how religious and secular architecture intertwine in the region's history.
Visitors can reach the mosque by taking a bus from Dinajpur town to Baro Mile, then crossing the Dhepa River by boat. Allow extra time for the river crossing, as boat frequency varies depending on the season.
The mosque walls display 104 rectangular terracotta plaques that reflect the skilled craftsmanship of Persian workers who settled in the area. These decorative details are often overlooked despite being a noteworthy feature of the local building tradition.
