What you can see and do

In Ramdas village, Panchagram union, Sadar upazila, the foundations of an old mosque surfaced when jungle was cleared, giving it the name Harano Masjid, the Lost Mosque. A brick found here bears the date 69 Hijri, so many regard it as a 7th-century mosque, but that age has not yet been confirmed archaeologically. A new mosque now stands on the old base.

How to get there

The mosque is south-east of Lalmonirhat town, about 1 km south of the Rangpur-Kurigram highway; it can be reached from town by auto-rickshaw.

Safety notes

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