Away from the busier monuments of Gaur, this small brick mosque from around the turn of the 16th century sits by a large pond under shady trees. It has a single large dome over the prayer hall and a verandah in front, with remnants of fine terracotta ornament. Local people also call it the Rajbibi Mosque. It sees few visitors, so you may have it almost to yourself.
