Shaista Khan Mosque, Mughal mosque in Mitford Area, Bangladesh
The rectangular mosque features three equal interior sections covered by onion domes, with arched openings on its eastern, northern, and southern facades.
Built between 1663 and 1678 during Shaista Khan's first viceroyalty of Bengal, this mosque stands as a testament to Mughal architectural influence.
The prayer hall contains three semi-octagonal mihrabs aligned with eastern facade openings, displaying intricate arabesque relief patterns and decorative elements.
The mosque remains accessible through multiple entrances and stands near the Buriganga River, maintaining regular prayer services despite its historical status.
Four ribbed octagonal turrets mark each corner of the structure, topped with plastered cupolas that distinguish its architectural composition.
