Dhanbari Nawab Shahi Jame Masjid of Tangail, the holder and bearer of ancient architecture stands in its glory as a witness of Islamic tradition and time.
This mosque is located in the heartland municipality of Dhanbari Upazila of Tangail. The first part of this mosque was built by two brothers of Turkish origin named Ispinzer Khan and Manowar Khan. Later, the expansion of this mosque was done by Nawab Syed Nawab Ali Chowdhury, the first proponent of Bengali language, one of the founding members of Dhaka University, the first Chief Minister of United Bengal and a famous person of Dhanbari. He modernized the mosque by expanding it 115 years ago.
Built on about 10 khata land, this mosque was rectangular before the renovation. It was then 13.72 meters (45 ft) long and 4.57 meters (15 ft) wide.
Today the mosque is a square mosque in contrast to the typical 3-domed rectangular Mughal mosque. After the renovation, the mosque lost some of its antiquity, but its luster and beauty increased much more than before.
The interior walls of this magnificent mosque are decorated with numerous colorful designs of limestone vines and mosaics of limestone. Which also bears traces of ancient architecture. Terracotta designs of cement and pebbles have been used on the outer walls.
5 entrances have been made to enter the mosque. 3 with multi-grooved arches on the east side and two more on the north and south - 5 in all.
34 small and big domes make the mosque more aesthetic and beautiful. There are also 10 big minarets. The height of each is about 30 feet from the roof. The height of the two-story minaret of the mosque is about 15 feet. The copper moons on the minaret add to the beauty of the mosque.
The interior of the mosque is decorated with 3 Mughal chandeliers. It is decorated with preserved 18 pots, which were lit using coconut. 200 worshipers can pray together in this ancient mosque.
Adjacent to this mosque is the Shan-Bandhano Ghat and a graveyard. Nawab Bahadur Syed Nawab Ali Chowdhury is lying in eternal sleep here. He passed away on 17 April 1929. Two years before his death, he introduced the system of 24-hour recitation of the Qur'an (except during prayer) in this mosque, which has not stopped for a single day in the last one hundred years. 5 Hafeez are engaged to keep the uninterrupted recitation going, which overwhelms the worshipers and visitors who come to the mosque every day.
In short, this Dhanbari Shahi Mosque is standing as a reminder of the worship and Islamic tradition of ancient times.
