Tengor Shahi Jame Mosque is a single-domed square shaped mosque and built entirely of brick.Through the analysis of An Arabic inscription, originally fixed over the central archway of eastern wall, can now be found fixed to an enclosure wall of a nearby newly built mosque, locally known as Pashchimpada masjid (mosque). According to the inscription, the Rikabi Bazar Mosque was built by one Malik Abdullah Miah, son of Amin Khan Fakir Miah, in 1569 AD during the reign of Sultan sulaiman karrani.
The walls of this mosque are about 2.13m thick.There were four corner-towers in the four exterior angles of the building, but these were removed at the time of renovation work. The mosque has five arched-doorways, three in the east and one each on the north and south sides. The north and south doors are now used as windows. All the arches are of the two-centered pointed variety. The central archway in the east is bigger than the flanking ones. Corresponding to the three eastern archways there are three renovated semi-circular mihrabs inside the qibla wall that are set within rectangular frames. Like the central doorway, the central mihrab is bigger than its flanking counterparts. The north and south walls have two alcoves on either side of the archway. The square prayer hall of the mosque is covered with a large brick shouldered dome, which rests on the four blocked arches over the central mihrab and the three axial doorways springing from the brick pilasters, two inside each wall, in combination with Bengali pendentives and half-domed squinches on the upper angles.
Architectural Features: Architectural features of this mosque include massive walls, a large dome, two-centered pointed archways and a dome supported by blocked arches springing from brick pilanters in combination with pendentive and half-domed squinches. These are very feature similar to the Goaldi Mosque in sonargaon and baba saleh’s mosque in Bandar, both in narayanganj district
An octagonal drum can be seen externally in the lower part of the dome. The parapets and the inner side of the dome is decorated with rows of blind merlons, and each rectangular frame of the three mihrabs is crowned by a frieze of blind merlons. These are not original ornamentations. The outer walls of the mosque were once ornamented with terracotta plaques, but now these are all missing. The mosque is at present covered with cement plaster.

Hoarshi Shahi Mosque (হোরশী শাহী মসজিদ) is actually known as Masjidpara Mosque (মসজিদপারা মসজিদ). But now a days no one knows this name anymore. Also, the local people pronounce Hoarshi as Horshi (হোরশী), more precisely Orshi (ওরশী), Hosshi (হসশি). People from this particular area pronounce Bengali words in different tone. They will find the bookish words from your mouth so much funny.
This mosque was built during 675-76AD, according to a Persian inscription that is affixed permanently over the central doorway. It was mainly a square shaped mosque having a single dome over the roof which covers almost the overall roof.
Department of Archaeology announced this as a protected monument of the country. As it is a small mosque, to accommodate more people inside the mosque premise, local people built an extension at the three sides of the mosque. The extension is having tin shade roof, and for that it’s pretty hard to locate the original mosque.

হোরশী শাহী মসজিদটি মসজিদপাড়া মসজিদ নামে অধিক পরিচিত। তবে আজকাল কেউ আর এই নামে মসজিদটিকে চেনেনা। তাঁরা মসজিদটিকে বিভিন্ন নামে ডেকে থাকে যেমনঃ হোরশী, ওরশী, হসসি ইত্যাদি। এই অঞ্চলের মানুষেরা বাংলা ভাষা ভিন্নভাবে উচ্চারণ করে থাকে তাই আপনার মুখে শুদ্ধ বাংলা শুনে তাঁরা হেসে দিতে পারে।
মসজিদের কেন্দ্রের ফটকের উপর পারস্য ভাষায় স্থাপিত শিলালিপি থেকে জানা যায় যে ৬৭৫ অথবা ৬৭৬ সালে মসজিদটি নির্মাণ করা হয়েছিল। বর্গক্ষেত্রাকার এই মসজিদের ছাদ জুড়ে একটিমাত্র গম্বুজ রয়েছে। প্রত্নতত্ত্ব বিভাগ মসজিদটিকে পুরাকীর্তি নিদর্শন হিসেবে ঘোষণা করেছে। ছোট এই মসজিদের ধারনক্ষমতা বৃদ্ধি করতে স্থানীয়রা মসজিদটি তিনদিক থেকে সম্প্রসারণ করেছে। মসজিদের সম্প্রসারিত অংশে টিনের ছাদ থাকায় মসজিদের প্রাচীন অংশটিকে সহজে দেখতে পাওয়া যায়।

Chandanpura Mosque is an attractive multiple domed mosque. This is situated is just beside the Kaptai road, the old part of the Chittagong. If you are traveling the place from Chittagong, then you can take a CNG auto rickshaw, and just ask the auto to take you at "Chandanpura Mosque". The mosque is renovated at 1952. The colorful design of the mosque is really outclass. Recently due to pollution, the mosque is losing its beauty day by day.
Just opposite of the mosque, there is fire station. This building was built during the British reign. This red building of the fire station is very eye catching and make people remember the history of infrastructure of then British Architecture.
