Also known as Majlis Aulia Mosque, this rectangular brick structure in Bhanga dates to the reign of Sultan Ghiyasuddin Azam Shah. Ten bulbous domes rest on stone pillars inside, and the western wall holds five terracotta mihrabs decorated with rosettes and hanging lamps. It sits beside the vast Baliya Dighi, which reflects the weathered red walls on calm mornings. A short path leads to the adjacent shrine of the saint Majlis Abdullah Khan.
