Masjid-e-Siraj ud-Daulah, Religious monument in Chittagong, Bangladesh.
The mosque features multiple domes and minarets painted in bright colors, situated opposite a colonial-era red brick Fire Brigade Station.
Construction started in 1870 under the supervision of contractor Master Abdul Hamid, with architects and builders from Lucknow and Bombay.
The mosque bears the name of Siraj ud-Daulah, the last independent Nawab of Bengal who fought against British colonial expansion.
Located on Nabab Siraj ud-Daulah Road in the Chawkbazar Ward, the mosque continues to function as an active place of worship.
Originally named Hamidia-Taj-Masjid, the structure underwent major renovations in 1952 initiated by Abu Syed Dobhash, a descendant of the original contractor.
