Shahbaz Khan Mosque, Late 17th-century Mughal mosque in Dhaka District, Bangladesh.
The rectangular mosque features three onion domes, octagonal turrets at each corner, and three arched openings on its eastern facade with detailed stone carvings.
In 1679, Haji Khwaja Shahbaz Khan, a merchant from Kashmir who settled in Tongi, constructed this mosque during Prince Muhammad Azam's rule in Bengal.
The mosque incorporates the Shaista Khan architectural style, displaying intricate mihrab designs, decorative elements, and black stone craftsmanship throughout the structure.
Located in the old high court area of Dhaka, the mosque receives numerous worshippers for Friday prayers and maintains regular prayer schedules.
The red walls of the mosque earned it the name Laal Masjid, while its walls were specially coated with stones to withstand the region's humid climate.
