QUTB SHAHI MOSQUE
QUTB SHAHI MOSQUEQutb Shahi Mosque is situated in the historic city of Pandua, Malda district, West Bengal.
The mosque is sometimes also called Sona Masjid because of what are supposed to be gilding of the domes, like those of Bara and Chhota Sona Mosques of Gaur, in the Malda district, West Bengal.
Qutb Shahi Mosque was constructed in 1583 AD by a descendant of Nur Qutbul Alam, a 
chishtiya saint who has left behind a line of saints who played significant part in the Muslim social life of Bengal for several centuries. Although it was built after the Mughal conquest of West Bengal in 1576, in its appearance it is a Sultanate mosque of the type in the city of Gaur, also in Malda district, with the exception of the cupolas over the corner towers. The cupolas are not characteristic of the towers built in the Mughal design and raise the question if these were constructed at the time of the building of the mosque or were later additions like those said to be at the Bagha Mosque in Rajshahi, Bangladesh, were made to create the Mughal structure.
