RAJ BIBI MOSQUE 15TH CENTURY A.D.

From the literal meaning of the word Rajbibi (royallady) it can be presumed that this mosque was built at Gaur, Chapainawabganj by an influential family member of the ruler. The time of founding cannot be ascertained as there is no inscription. According to S. M. Hasan, "it may be placed between the early llyas Shahi period and the Husayn Shahi period, that is, during the restored llyas Shahi dynasty which ruled from 841A.H./1437A.D. to 892A.H./1487A.D. (Hasan 1979: 208).This small mosque lies on the western side of the tank Khania dighi, the orientation of this tank towards east-west proves that it was dug by a Muslim ruler.
