    The mosque was built by Jaminder Aman Ullah in 1741, during the reign of Mughol emperor Muhammad Shah. Between 1911 and 1928, Bazra Jaminder Khan Bahadur Ali Ahmed and Khan Bahadur Mukir Uddin Ahmed had it extensively repaired and decorated with mosaics made from coloured shards of ceramic. It is in a fairly good state of preservation. And in reality the mosque looks too beautiful.

    Bazra Shahi Mosque is an elegant historic mosque in Bangladesh. Amanullah built it during the 1741-42 AD and later it was repaired by the Bazra Zamindar named Khan Bahadur Ali Ahmad and Khan Bahadur Mujir Uddin Ahmad. This mosque has similar complexion of the mosques during that era. The main difference is the stylish outer walls. It has three domes at the top; the middle dome is slight larger. Also it has lot of small minarets at the columns of the mosque. It has three doorways at the eastern side, just under the domes. The mosque had a large water tank at the eastern side, but now it’s just shrinking into one percent of its original size. Southern side of the mosque has a large graveyard.
