Atkandi Nilkuthi Mosque (আটকান্দি নীলকুঠি মসজিদ ) is situated in the Atkandi village of Raypura upazila, Narsingdi. It was built by a man named ‘Alim Uddin’. Alim Uddin built this Mosque just beside the grave yard of his wife ‘Sadetunnesa’. To build this Mughal stylistic Mosque he brought some masons from far land Mohishur, India. Some even compare it with Tajmahal, given its architectural style and the emotions behind it.
Alim Uddin completed his education on Islamic religion from Deobond and later worked as Teacher in a madrasa, conducted by Khawaza Family in Dhaka. Later in 18th century, he built this Mosque, however the exact date of founding this Mosque could not be determined.
Architectural property and Layout :
It is a rectangular shaped Mosque. Which can be divided into three specific spatial context. We can exemplify it as below-
1. Inner zone
2. Exterior Corridor zone
3. Exterior Porch zone (under open sky)
Inner Zone of this Mosque contains three domes, and a Mihrab. Among these, three bulbous domes, among which the middle one is the biggest. The inner zone contains two entrances.
Exterior corridor zone of this mosque is elongated in north-south forming a rectangular shape. It contains five bulbous domes, which is smaller than other three. This zone also contains five entrances which are arch shaped and decorated with multi foiled design. In parapet it’s decorated with the Merlon design. In the base line of outer wall it’s decorated with a pitcher design.
Exterior porch zone of this mosque was built considering the large gathering which take place. It’s a square shaped plastered floor, with one feet high bordered wall all around the porch. It contains a main gateway to enter into the Mosque.
Public gathering in different occasion:
In different kind of public occasions, like in the eve of Eid-festivals and in common vacations people from different parts of the country come here to visit this place. On the southern part of this Mosque there is an old Ghat (in the edge of a river) which has stepped down to the branch of Meghna river. So far we know, it was built by G.P. Wize when this region was a place to plant indigo in a massive scale.
Present Condition and ruins of several unrevealed structure:
Present condition of this Mosque is not so consistent in a sense of building strength. It is in very sensitive condition, where it is randomly being used without any treatment of conservation & preservation. That’s why we can observe some deterioration in the brick building both in Exterior & interior part.
In the northern part of the Mosque there are some ruins of buried structure. Some outer portion of that buried structure is seem like spherical shape. Which demands more exploration and systematic archaeological excavation to reveal the history behind this region.

Autshahi Mughal Mosque,is a ruin of Mughal period Mosque, just located beside the Autshahi (আউটশাহী) Graveyard. It’s silently containing the evidences of ancient time. People are avoiding to visit that site frequently as it is inside the boundary of graveyard.
It has two entrances and one bulbous shaped dome on the top. Basically, from the structural remains it would be very difficult to prove how it was being used or how it became so.

Satoir Mosque is situated at Satoir bazar of Boalmari Thana. It was at Madhukhali Thana, and just visited the Deul of Mathurapur. Initially interested to visit the mosque, cause only way to reach there using local bus and it will take around 1-2 hours.
It was actually 700 years of old mosque, but old one was totally renovated. There are lots of myth available using the mosque.
1) This mosque was built within one day by the order of Allah.
2) The four pillars of the mosque used to laugh and cry sometimes (The reason is the air passing, and it just make a different tone).
3) If you take the brick of the mosque at your house, no insect will come at our house.

প্রায় ৭০০ বছর পূর্বে এই মসজিদটি নির্মাণ করা হলেও পুরাতন মসজিদটিকে পুরোপুরি মেরামত করা হয়েছে। মসজিদটিকে ঘিরে প্রচুর লোককাহিনী রয়েছে যেমনঃ
১। একদিনেই এই মসজিদটি আল্লাহর হুকুমে নির্মাণ করা হয়।
২। মসজিদের চারটি পিলার একসময় হাসত এবং কাঁদত (প্রকৃতপক্ষে বায়ু চলাচলের কারনে ভিন্ন ধরনের শব্দের সৃষ্টি হত)।
৩। মসজিদের ইট আপনার ঘরে নিয়ে গেলে আপনার ঘরে কোন পোকামাকড় প্রবেশ করবে না।
