CHHOTO SONA MOSQUE 1493-1519 A.D.

The Chhoto Sona mosque, meaning the little golden mosque, is regarded as "the gem of Gaur". It is situated on the eastern side of a road connecting Gaur in India and Nawabganj in Bangladesh. Gaur was the fortified capital of ancient Bengal. The mosque was built by one Wall Muhammad during the reign of Sultan Husayn Shah (1493-1519), an independent ruler of Bengal (Dani 1961:136-38). This is evident from a broken inscription placed on the top of the middle doorway.
