Religious Places in Pandua

The Adina Mosque is a historical mosque located in Pandua, a town in the Malda district of West Bengal, India. It was the largest structure of its kind in the Indian subcontinent as an imperial mosque of the Bengal Sultanate, built during the reign of Sikandar Shah, who was later buried inside. The vast architecture resembles the hypostyle of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, a style that was used during the introduction of Islam in new areas. The early Bengal Sultanate harbored imperial ambitions after having defeated the Delhi Sultanate twice in 1353 and 1359 during the Ekdala Wars. The Adina Mosque was commissioned in 1373.

Built in 1369 by Sultan Sikander Shah and during that time it was the largest mosque in India. The courtyard measures by . The entrance is through an insignificant door. The roof had 306 domes but sadly none of them survived. The mosque contains an elevated ladies' section approached by a flight of wooden stairs.

Locally known as Chota Sona Masjid, the Qutb Sahi Mosque is built in honour of Saint Nur Qutb-ul-Alam. The ruins of his shrine are nearby, along with that of Saint Hazrat Shah Jalal Tabrizi, collectively known as the Bari Darga. The mosque is built in 1582. The mosque is approached through a gateway in the east. The eastern wall has five arched entrances providing access to the interiors.
