Qassabtuly Mosque, Islamic prayer house in Old Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The Qassabtuly Mosque structure includes three fluted domes, high-plinth design, ceramic embellishments, and two prominent towers on the west facade.

Abdul Bari Bepari initiated the construction of Qassabtuly Mosque in 1919, with building works continuing through 1945 to complete the detailed architecture.

The mosque interior displays Persian-influenced geometric patterns, floral motifs, and star-shaped inscriptions that follow Islamic artistic principles without human figures.

The main prayer chamber accommodates 120 people while the outer hall provides space for 1,000 worshippers to perform their religious duties.

The name Koshaituly stems from the local butcher community that historically populated this district of Old Dhaka.
