What you can see and do

Chhoto Sona Mosque stands in the old Gaur area of Shibganj; it was raised when Sultan Alauddin Husain Shah ruled. Many call it a gem of Sultanate architecture, for two reasons. One is the finely carved stonework; the other is the shape of the central domes, modelled on a hut roof. Birshreshtha Captain Mohiuddin Jahangir is buried beside it.

How to get there

About 35 km from Chapainawabganj town on the road that runs to the land port at Sona Masjid; around an hour by bus.

Safety notes

Dress modestly at a place of worship, keep quiet during prayers and ask before taking photographs.
