RONBIJOYPUR MOSQUE 15TH CENTURY A.D.

It is situated about one and a half kilometer east of the Shait Gambuj mosque and on the northern side of the original Khan-e-Jahan road; Khalifatabad-Bagerhat. The mosque stands on the southern embankment of the old bed of Bhairab River facing the node of Khan-e-Jahan road from where the secondary road which approaches the Mausoleum complex offshoots at a right angle towards south. The name of this mosque is derived from the village called Ronbijoypur. It belongs to the group of buildings of Khan Jahan Ali built in the middle of 15'^ century (Ahmed 1984:309-13). The structure has gone under extensive restoration work for which some of the original features may have been lost.
