Introduction to Pakulla Jame Masjid Tangail

Pakulla Jame Masjid (Pakulla Jame Masjid) with three domes is located near Pakulla Bazar in Palpara of Delduar Upazila of Tangail District. Built around the early 17th century, the rectangular Pakulla Mosque is 14.77 meters long, 5.85 meters wide and the mosque walls are 1.25 meters thick. The Pakulla Mosque bears similarities to Aurangzeb's Moti Mosque in Delhi, Khwaja Anwar's Martyr's Tomb in Burdwan and Kazi Khwaja Shahbaz's Mosque in Dhaka.
The interior of the Pakulla Mosque is divided into three parts by fluted arches. The main structure of the mosque consists of 4 high octagonal towers standing in the four corners of the mosque, 3 well-crafted entrances and three designed concave mihrabs with four corners inside the western wall. Among them, the inner central mihrab is grooved and the two side mihrabs are without grooves. The three domes resting on octagonal pillars are the biggest attraction of the mosque. Among the three domes, the central dome is larger in size than the two side domes. Besides, two rooms have been constructed in brick and plaster of Chouchala style on both sides of the mosque. Originally, these two rooms are currently used for the study of students studying in the mosque and the accommodation of the imam.
