Shahi Eidgah, Open prayer hall in Sylhet District, Bangladesh.

Shahi Eidgah stands on a hill with three gates and fifteen domes, featuring a central mihrab accessible by a twenty-step staircase for prayer leadership.

The prayer hall was constructed in the 17th century under Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb's rule, with supervision from Farhad Khan, the faujdar of Sylhet.

During both Eid celebrations, this prayer ground brings together thousands of Muslims from the region for communal prayers and religious ceremonies.

Visitors can reach the location by taking local transportation from Sylhet bus station, which connects to Dhaka through a five-hour journey by road.

The prayer hall includes specialized tanks for ablution rituals and contains fifteen ornate domes that accommodate up to 100,000 worshippers simultaneously.
