Commissioned in 1867 by Zamindar Rawshan Ali and completed by his son Pir Mohammad, this ornate mosque stands in Jamalpur village near Shibganj. Built entirely of brick with lime surki mortar, the structure features three bulbous central domes crowned by kalasa finials and flanked by twenty-eight slender minarets along the parapet wall. The main entrance gate is styled like a fortified Mughal gateway, rising into an upper observation chamber. The exterior facades and prayer hall walls are decorated with relief terracotta work, molded rosette panels, and delicate plaster tracery. The mosque has been continuously maintained by the local Muslim community for daily prayers.
