Lost Mosque, 7th-century mosque ruins in Lalmonirhat Sadar Upazila, Bangladesh.

The Lost Mosque measures 21 feet in width and 10 feet in length, featuring four pillars within its structural remains near Rangpur-Kurigram road.

Archaeological excavations in 1986 revealed this mosque dating to 690 AD, making it one of the earliest Islamic structures in the Indian subcontinent.

The mosque site contains Arabic inscriptions and architectural elements that demonstrate the early presence of Islamic worship practices in Bangladesh.

Visitors can reach the mosque location by traveling 14 kilometers southeast from Lalmonirhat town, with local transportation services available from the city center.

The structure remained concealed beneath forest growth until agricultural development led to its discovery, with two original pillars still standing at the site.
