Built around 1750 by Nawab Nawazish Mohammad Khan, the Motijheel Mosque is a prominent historical monument at the famous Motijheel lake in Murshidabad. Its rectangular structure is a well-known tourist spot.
The eastern wall is a prime architectural feature with three arched entrances. It is adorned with stucco and two slender minarets framing a Persian inscription detailing its construction and patron.
The mosque’s roof is topped by three elegant hemispherical domes crowned with a lotus and kalash finial. Its four corners are marked by two-tiered octagonal minarets with decorative overhangs.
Inside, the prayer hall is divided into three bays with graceful pointed arches. The ornate western mihrab is a focal point, richly decorated with floral bands and an arched series.
A monument of national importance, the mosque remains an active place of worship. It requires continued maintenance to preserve its delicate historical and architectural integrity for future generations.

Nice pic @rizbab28 . That aqua blue looks nice and adds a nice color to the mosque. I agree the government should take good care of all these beautiful historical monuments that exists through out India. Lot of the structures are neglected too in Southern India. Thanks for sharing.
Keep Guiding!

Hi,
Thank you very much for your appreciation and concern.
You are right due to ignorance of ASI and local administration many historical monuments are turning to ruins even I noticed in Mahabalipuram, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Kerala, needs adequate awareness among public may be helpful to resolve or to reduce the effect.

One thing is that Murshidabad was a major centre of Islamic teachings as builder of this mosque Nawazish Mohammed Khan established Madarsa Furqaniyyah under his supervision in the vicinity of this mosque.
Thanks for your appreciation.
Warm Wishes,
