The picture you are looking at is a historical mosque. It is called Motijheel 'Black Mosque'. This mosque is established in Murjidabad, India.
Nawab Nawaz Muhammad Khan, the eldest son-in-law of Nawab Alibardi Khan and husband of Ghaseti Begum (Meherunnessa), built this mosque called 'Kala Masjid' in 1750 on the north-west bank of the beautiful Motijheel, which is also known as the Motijheel Mosque.
The mosque has three domes. Besides, he also built a madrasah and guest house (langarkhana) in the mosque premises. He used to spend 37,000 rupees a month in the service of the poor and needy. It is said that Sirajddaula's grandfather Alivardi Khan used to come to pray regularly at Motijheel Mosque. Little Siraj also used to come to the Motijheel mosque holding his grandfather's hand.
According to historical sources, Alibardi's eldest daughter Ghaseti Begum was childless. That is why he adopted Siraj's younger brother Ekramuddaula and brought him up with love. Ekramuddaula died of spring fever at a very young age. He was buried in Motijheel mosque grounds. Ghaseti Begum's husband Nawazez Mohammad Khan, unable to cope with the grief of Ekramuddaula's death, later succumbed to gonorrhea. Their tombs are located side by side in the Motijheel Mosque premises. There are four walled mausoleums in the mosque compound. 2 of white stone, 1 of black stone and 1 of brick. The white stone tombs are the tombs of two Nawazes Muhammad Khan and Ekramuddaula. And the black stone tomb belongs to Ekramuddaula's teacher. The brick tomb is that of Ekramuddaula's wife. There is also a brick mausoleum outside the wall, that of Nawaz Muhammad Khan Samser Ali Khan. Currently this mosque is a mosque preserved by the Department of Archeology of India. Because of the historical mosque, many tourists come here and visit this historical mosque.
