About

The Chawk Mosque, also known as the Chawk Masjid and also as the Chowk Shahi Masjid, is a mosque located in the Hazarduari Palace complex at Murshidabad, in the state of West Bengal, India. The Chawk Mosque was founded in 1767 CE by Munny Begum, the wife of Nawab Mir Zafar, on the banks of the Bhagirathi River. Earlier in this place, Nawab Murshid Quli Khan built the "Chahel Sutan", which was the city's forty pillared audience hall. The mosque still recalls the stories of the ruling days of the Nawabs and still holds on its glory of the past.
