Badi Masjid

religious

The Badi Masjid in Bangali Tola stands out for its weathered stone facade and the distinct arched gateway that opens into a quiet, enclosed courtyard. It serves as a sanctuary for the local community, tucked away from the frantic pace of the nearby ghats. Aurangzeb ordered its construction during the seventeenth century on the foundations of an earlier structure. The walls hold centuries of congregational prayers, marking a quiet shift in the city’s skyline that remains a central point for residents today.
