KATRA MASJID

Russa Palit 18 months ago

This is the oldest and most important Islamic architecture at Murshidabad built by Nawab Murshid Quli Khan, the first Nawab of Bengal. I just loved the iconic architecture of this place. There are no entry fees to visit this place. This mosque has a great historical importance. Hire a guide during your visit if you wish to know details about this place.

We walked from railway station to Jahan Kosa, then to Katra Masjid. It took 40 minutes. Toto services are very frequent and should not cost more than ₹20/- per ride.

???? The masjid offers great scope for photography & clicking profile photos. Photography with DLSR camera was somewhat prohibited (as I found staffs asking some wedding photographers not to use camera) , but u can use it easily by avoiding the staffs who don't come often.

Tomb of Mushid Kuli Khan is situated under the stairs of entry.

A guide costs ₹50/-

It is a good place to visit in weekend or as day trip from Kolkata. There is no ticket system to enter the mosque. The place is indeed beautiful and photogenic.
