Shailkupa Shahi Mosque

The Shahi Mosque in Shailkupa is a protected monument from the pre-Mughal sultanate era. Its brick walls carry several small domes and corner turrets typical of the period. It still serves as a place of prayer for the town. The Kumar river flows close by, making a pleasant stroll after the visit.

How to get there

Buses from Jhenaidah to Shailkupa take about 40 minutes; the mosque is a short rickshaw ride from the bazar.

Good to know

Avoid prayer times and dress modestly.
