Khan Mohammad Mridha Mosque
খান মোহাম্মদ মৃধা মসজিদ
A 1704 three-domed Mughal mosque raised on a platform, quiet and largely intact, and one of the few complete Mughal buildings left in Old Dhaka.
The Khan Mohammad Mridha Mosque was built in 1704–1705 and stands on a platform about 5 metres high, with a row of arched chambers beneath it. Its three domes and corner turrets are well preserved and well proportioned, making it a representative example of late Mughal mosque architecture in Dhaka. Visitors are few and the setting is peaceful. The mosque is protected by the government's archaeological department and is free to visit. Dress modestly and avoid prayer times. It is about 500 metres northwest of Lalbagh Fort, so the two can be seen on the same outing.
