Fauti Masjid
ফুটি মসজিদ
A mosque said to have been attempted overnight by Nawab Sarfaraz Khan but left unfinished; its five domes are damaged, giving it the beauty of a ruin.
'Fauti' means 'broken' in Bengali. The mosque is about 40 metres long and has five domes. Legend says that in the 18th century Nawab Sarfaraz Khan ordered it built in a single night, and it was toppled before completion. The surviving structure is damaged and overgrown with vegetation, and visitors are few, making it suitable for those who enjoy photographing ruins. It lies between the Hazarduari and the Katra Mosque, and you can reach it on the way by horse cart.
