How To Reach Fauti Masjid Ruins

Murshidabad, West Bengal, India
The Fauti Masjid, also known as the Phuti Mosque, is a former mosque in a ruinous state, located in the Kumarpur area of Murshidabad. Built in 1740 by Nawab Sarfaraz Khan, the mosque was intended to be one of the largest and most magnificent in the region. However, according to popular legend, the N awab died in a battle with Nawab Alivardi Khan before the mosque could be completed. The word 'Faut' in Persian means 'died' or 'deceased', and thus, the mosque came to be known as Fauti Masjid or the "Mosque of the Deceased". Today, the mosque stands as a hauntingly beautiful ruin, its five incomplete domes and crumbling walls a poignant reminder of an ambition that was never fully realized. The mosque is 41 meters long and 12 meters wide, and its scale suggests the grandeur it was meant to achieve.
