DHUNIACHAK MOSQUE 15TH CENTURY A.D.
The Dhunichak mosque is situated in the southern suburb of the old city Gaur and presently in the village Shahbajpur under Shibganj upazilla of the District Chapainawabganj. This mosque bears no inscription, but after comparing similar mosques, such as the Shahi mosque at Basirhat (871A.H./1466A.D.), the Hathazari mosque at Chittagong (879A.H./1474A.D.) and the Baba Adam mosque at Rampai (888A.H./1483-84A.D.), it can be presumed that it was probably constructed in the late fifteenth, when three-aisled mosques were popular in Bengal.
