NOY GAMBUJ MOSQUE 15TH CENTURY A.D.

The legendary Islamic hero of Bengal Ulugh Khan Jahan Ali built numerous square shaped small neighborhood mosques in addition to his large congregational mosque at Bagerhat. This locally known nine-domed mosque belongs to the credential of this great builder Khan Jahan Ali and was built in the middle of the fifteenth century. This is the finest example of a multi- domed square shaped plan situated at the western side of the big Thakur Dighi near Khan Jahan Ali tomb at Bagerhat. Existence of a ruined ghat, which has a strong axial relationship with this mosque, is still visible. This ghat was a place of swapping pleasantries before and after the daily prayers. It also replaced the ablution fountain after typical Islamic architecture. The outside surface of this brick building has been restored by the Directorate of Archaeology of Bangladesh.
