Chamkati Masjid
চামকাটি মসজিদ
A small single-domed brick mosque built in 1475, with finely detailed terracotta decoration, best visited alongside the Lattan Mosque.
The Chamkati Masjid was built around 1475 by Sultan Yusuf Shah, and its name is said to derive from a Vaishnavite ascetic group. It is modest in scale and follows the typical Bengal layout of a single dome with a front porch, and its curved eaves imitate the shape of local thatched huts. The brick carvings and terracotta patterns on its exterior are well preserved. The site is open and sees few visitors, making it well suited to close study of the brickwork of the Bengal Sultanate. Admission is free.
