The historic Nidaria Mosque in Lalmonirhat, built in Mughal architectural style nearly three centuries ago, is now at risk due to neglect and structural decay. Despite being listed by the Department of Archaeology, the three-domed mosque has weakened over time without proper restoration. Locals warn that without urgent renovation and recovery of encroached land, this northern heritage site could be lost.
According to local accounts, the mosque was built in 1176 Hijri by Subedar Monsur Khan in fulfillment of a vow. The single-room structure, measuring about 42 feet by 16 feet, features three domes, four corner pillars, and a single entrance. It stands in Kishamat Nagarband Mouza of Panchagram Union, with an adjacent Eidgah, graveyard, and a madrasa established in 2019. Although about 10 acres of land were donated to the mosque, part of it is now under dispute.
Local residents and the district administration have called for immediate action to restore the mosque and resolve the land issues. Officials said necessary measures will be taken soon to preserve the site, which locals believe could become a major heritage tourism destination if properly maintained.
