Standing isolated in farmland about a kilometre north-west of the Sixty Dome Mosque, Chunakhola was erected in the mid-15th century, possibly by one of Khan Jahan's master builders. It has thick tapered walls, circular corner turrets, and a single semicircular dome covering a square prayer chamber. The terracotta plaques around its three eastern doorways show lotus and foliage motifs typical of early Sultanate craftsmanship. Village footpaths lead directly to the brick plinth across rice paddies.
