Pagla Jame Mosque, (Bengali: পাগলা জামে মসজিদ), known locally as Raypur Boro Mosque, (Bengali: রায়পুর বড় মসজিদ, Arabic: جامع رايفور الكبير), is a mosque in the village of Raypur, Paschim Pagla, South Sunamganj, Sunamganj District, Bangladesh. It lies on the banks of the Mahashing River. It was built by a local businessman called Yasin Mirza.[1]
After travelling and admiring buildings around the subcontinent, in particular Calcutta, a local businessman named Yasin Mirza decided to build a mosque in his local village of Raypur. Groundbreaking took place in 1924 and construction in 1931. It took 10 years to complete. Yasin Mirza hired architects and builders from cities of the British Raj such as Calcutta and Delhi. The main architect was Mumin Astagar, a descendant of one of the architects of the Taj Mahal. During this period, Mumin was living in Dacca.[2]
Description
It is a two-storey building. In front of the building is a large eidgah. There is a gate on the north side. The building has three domes.[3]
