- 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 letters in the inscription, giving the exact date of construction, have been obliterated. But 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. The gilding employed in the ornamentation that has given the building its appellation Chhota Sona Masjid (Little Golden Mosque) does not exist now. Shibganj, Chapai Nwabganj, Bangladesh. September 6, 2006. (Source-Banglapedia).
