- Description: Chhota Sona Mosque sometimes described as a 'Gem of Sultanate architecture' is situated about 3 kilometres due south of Kotowalidarwaza and half a kilometre to the southeast of the Tahkhana Complex in the Firuzpur Quarters of Gaur-Lakhnauti, the capital of Sultanate Bengal. The name of Sultan Alauddin Husain Shah in the inscription suggests that the mosque must have been built sometime during his rule (1494 -1519 AD). The mosque is one of the best-preserved Sultanate monuments under the protection of the Department of Archaeology and Museums, Government of Bangladesh. On the southeast corner within the mosque premise are two modern graves. These two graves belong to Birsreshtha Captain Mohiuddin Jahangir (d 14 December 1971) and Major Nazmul Hoque Tulu (d 27 September 1971), who died fighting against the Pakistani Army near Nawabganj town during the Bangladesh liberation war. Shibganj, Chapai Nwabganj, Bangladesh. September 6, 2006. (Source-Banglapedia).
