Madina Mosque

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

The Madina Mosque is a mosque inside the Nizamat Fort complex in Murshidabad, India, set on a raised platform along the Bhagirathi River. The structure has several domes and walls decorated with Quranic inscriptions, and its exterior is covered with Chinese tiles.

The old Madina Mosque was built by Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah in the 18th century as part of the Nizamat Imambara, which burned in 1842 and again on 23 December 1846. The mosque survived both fires. In 1847 Nawab Mansur Ali Khan built the present Nizamat Imambara and a new Madina Mosque inside it, under the supervision of Sadeq Ali Khan.

The name Madina refers to the city of Medina, and two mosques here share it: the small single-domed old one built by Siraj ud-Daulah, and the new one inside the Nizamat Imambara. The old mosque's foundation was mixed with soil brought from Mecca, so poorer local Muslims could share in the experience of the Hajj pilgrimage.

The mosque sits inside the Nizamat Fort complex, close to Hazarduari Palace, so it is easy to reach from there. Visitors should dress modestly and keep prayer times in mind, as the mosque is still in active use.

The Karbala soil belongs to the new Madina Mosque of 1847, not the older one: it lies in the foundation of the raised platform inside the Nizamat Imambara. The old mosque, built by Siraj ud-Daulah, instead had soil from Mecca mixed into its foundation so poorer local Muslims could share in the Hajj experience.
