Madina Mosque, Islamic mosque in Nizamat Fort Campus, Murshidabad, India.

The newer Madina Mosque stands on a raised platform decorated with china tiles, featuring multiple domes and Quranic inscriptions on its walls and arches.

Nawab Mansur Ali Khan constructed the new Madina Mosque in 1847, replacing an older wooden structure built by Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah that was damaged by fire.

The mosque foundations contain soil from Karbala, making it a meaningful connection point for Muslim worshippers seeking spiritual engagement with sacred Islamic sites.

The mosque lies parallel to Hazarduari Palace's south face along the Bhagirathi River, with multiple transportation options available for visitors approaching the complex.

Two distinct Madina mosques exist within the fort campus, with the older structure incorporating soil from Mecca in its foundation for local Muslims unable to perform Hajj.
