CHUNKHOLA MOSQUE 15 TH CENTURY A.D.

The Chunakhola mosque is situated in the village Mogra, about one kilometer west of the Shait Gambuj mosque in an isolated low mound in the midst of vast flat cultivated field and has no road connection with the adjacent mosques. It belongs to the group of mosques built by Khan Jahan Ali in the early 15"" century (Hasan 1979: 153). This building has been restored recently by the Directorate of Archaeology. A photo before the restoration work shows the extent of erosion due to salinity in the soil of this area. It has eroded more of the lower part than the upper part. Directorate of Archaeology has successfully restored the building; the lower part of the building is almost rebuilt.
