Constructed in the mid-15th century during Khan Jahan Ali's administration, this square brick mosque features nine hemispherical domes supported on four stone pillars. Its three arched entrances open east towards Thakur Dighi, while the interior holds three finely carved terracotta mihrabs decorated with floral rosettes. Unlike the crowded Sixty Dome Mosque, this smaller building functions primarily as a neighbourhood prayer hall. Morning light across the water offers the clearest view of its curved roofline.
