Mirzapur Shahi Mosque মির্জাপুর শাহী মসজিদ

A late 17th-century Mughal brick mosque in Atwari, adorned with three ribbed domes and intricate terracotta floral relief.

A Persian inscription over the doorway suggests this ornate three-domed mosque was built around 1679, traditionally linked to local dignitary Dost Mohammad. Four octagonal corner minarets rise above high parapets, while the facade displays elaborate floral terracotta tiles and molded plaster friezes. An ancient masonry well and an open courtyard stand beside the prayer chamber. The mosque remains in active use by the village community.
