Sura Mosque, Ancient mosque in Ghoraghat, Bangladesh

The Sura Mosque features a square prayer room measuring 4.84 meters on each side, with three domed arcades in the veranda and black stone minarets.

The architectural elements and construction techniques indicate the mosque was built during the reign of Sultan Husain Shah in the early 16th century.

The mosque's walls incorporate intricate terracotta decorations depicting traditional chain and bell motifs, reflecting the regional architectural style of Bengal.

Located 10 kilometers west of Ghoraghat on the Hili-Ghoraghat road, visitors can access the mosque through three entrance gates on the east wall.

The structure combines black granite and other precious stones from Rajmahal in its construction, with detailed carvings present in the mihrab niches.
