The Jiladpur Mosque (Bengali: জিলাদপুর মসজিদ, Arabic: مسجد جلادفور) is an ancient three-domed mosque in Moulvibazar District, Bangladesh. It is believed that the mosque was built in the late 1500s AD.
Location
The mosque is located in the village of Jiladpur (West Ashidron) in Ward 1 of Sreemangal Upazila's Ashidron Union Council. It sits on the banks of the Bilash River. The mosque is visited by people from all over the country by Muslims and non-Muslims alike.[1]
Folklore
There is a local legend about the construction of the mosque. According to the tale, one day, a gathering of villagers convened by the banks of the Bilash River. They collectively decided to embark on the construction of a mosque. Eagerly, they began planning immediately, and by day's end, they had sketched out a rough blueprint for the mosque's construction. They went to sleep intending that construction should start the next day. When the villagers woke up the next day and went to the site, they saw a three-domed lime-brick mosque, and had no idea where and who it came from. Even today, the Jiladpur Mosque, is referred to as a "Ghayebi mosque" (গায়েবী মসজিদ) as they believe it was built by Muslim jinns in one night.[1]
Architecture and structure
No rods or brick-and-cement was used to build this mosque which is peculiar to other mosques in region. The quantity of domes being three resembles Mughal architecture styles. It spans three acres and can fit up to 150 people at once. The mosque is regularly painted and refurbished, and the locals have established a separate toilet, wudukhana, and verandah.[1]
