Binat Bibi Mosque

Binat Bibi Mosque is the earliest surviving mosque in Dhaka, built in 1454 by Bakht Binat, the daughter of Marhamat. It was built during the rule of the Sultan of Bengal, Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah (1435–1459). The mosque is located beside the Hayat Bepari's Bridge in the Narinda area. The mosque is a square, single-domed building measuring 12 feet (3.7 m) square internally with a single hemispherical dome at the top of the square room. Entrances are from the east, north, and south. Pre-Mughal features included the curved cornices and battlements, corner octagonal turrets, and arches on the southern, northern, and eastern sides. The ornamentation is modest, and the building is coated with plaster. A portion of the mosque is being demolished as part of a renovation plan that includes building a 70-foot (21 m) high minaret and extending the current building from three stories to seven.
