Travel Tips Of Motijheel Mosque
Murshidabad, West Bengal, India
The Motijheel Mosque, also historically known as Kala Masjid (Black Mosque) or Jama Masjid of Motijheel, is an important historical and religious structure located on the western bank of the Motijheel lake. It was constructed around 1750 CE by Nawazish Muhammad Khan, the son-in-law of Nawab Alivardi Khan and the builder of the entire Motijheel complex. The mosque was named 'Shahamat Jang' after Nawazish Muhammad Khan's title. The name Kala Masjid is possibly derived from the black basalt stone used in parts of the adjacent Sang-i-Dalan Palace or the dark appearance of the brickwork. It is a rectangular, three-bayed structure covered by three hemispherical domes. The mosque holds immense historical significance as it serves as the burial site for its builder, Nawazish Muhammad Khan, and his adopted son, Ekramulla (younger brother of Siraj ud-Daulah), who died young, possibly from smallpox. It is believed that Nawab Alivardi Khan used to frequent this mosque to offer prayers. Despite being a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and still being an active place of worship where five prayers are offered daily, the mosque's structure is a poignant reminder of the Mughal architectural style prevalent in Bengal. The detailed stucco ornamentation within the prayer hall is a notable feature. The mosque completes the historical and religious significance of the Motijheel complex.
