Panbari Mosque, Islamic monument in Dhubri district, India
Panbari Mosque is a fifteenth-century Islamic structure featuring three domes and architectural details characteristic of the Bengal Sultanate period. Located near National Highway 17 in Dhubri district, it stands as a protected monument of national importance.
Sultan Alauddin Husain Shah commissioned this mosque between 1493 and 1519 to commemorate his victory over the Kamata kingdom. Its construction occurred during a period of territorial expansion and power consolidation in eastern India.
This mosque serves as a spiritual gathering place for the local community in western Assam and draws visitors from different faith traditions who come together at this sacred site.
The structure accommodates up to 150 worshippers and is accessible via regular bus connections from National Highway 17. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear and be mindful of prayer times when entering the site.
The building remained hidden beneath forest growth until 1928, when a villager rediscovered it while gathering firewood in the area. This unexpected find after centuries of obscurity brought the historical significance of the site back into public awareness.
