Shah Shuja Mosque
শাহ সুজা মসজিদ
A small Mughal-style mosque with three domes in Mughaltuli, old Cumilla town.
The Shah Shuja Mosque stands in Mughaltuli in the old part of Cumilla town. Local tradition links it to the Mughal prince Shah Shuja, though no inscription has been found and its exact date is disputed. The prayer hall has three domes and corner towers in typical Mughal style, and later additions have been built around it. It is still in daily use and is a short rickshaw ride from Dharmasagar.
How to get there
Rickshaw to Mughaltuli in Cumilla town.
Good to know
