Situated on the bank of the Kumar River, the Shailkupa Shahi Mosque is a notable relic of Sultanate-era architecture in southern Bengal. The mosque is located at Dorgapara.
Running north to south, the mosque measures 31.5 by 21 feet in length and breadth (inside). The walls are about 5.5 feet thick. At each of the four corners stands a minaret; these are circular and decorated with bulging bands. The minarets rise well above the mosque. There are three entrances in the eastern wall and two each in the north and south walls.
On either side of the central entrance in the eastern wall stands a slender minaret, somewhat shorter than the corner ones. The cornice of the mosque is slightly straightened; inside, the western wall holds three mihrabs, the central one larger in size. Within the mosque are two pillars five feet high, on which rest arches of brick. Upon these two pillars and the walls on the four sides stand six domes, all rather small in size. The mosque is built mainly of brick. It has undergone so many repairs and additions that it is not easy to determine precisely what its original structure was.
The central entrance and the corner minarets were probably later additions. Yet it is easily recognizable as a mosque of the Sultanate period. To the east of the mosque, enclosed by a low wall (45 by 30 feet), lies a mazar. According to local people, it is the mazar of Shah Mohammad Arif-i-Rabbani, alias Arab Shah. Six more shrines of saints stand near this mazar. Neither the mosque nor the mazar bears any inscription.
Location: The mosque stands at Dorgapara, beside Shailkupa town.
