Historical Context

About

The Tetulia Jami Mosque, also known as the Khan Bahadur Salamatullah Mosque, was constructed in 1858–1859 in the village of Tetulia, Bangladesh. This six-domed mosque is a prime example of Mughal-style architecture from the mid-19th century and resembles structures built by the descendants of Tipu Sultan. The mosque is significant not only for its religious function but also for its architectural style, which includes a rare twin-pillar system to support the roof. The mosque was founded by Khan Bahadur Maulvi Qazi Salamatullah Khan, a member of the local zamindar family, who also built the now-ruined Salam Manzil mansion nearby. The site holds historical importance due to its connection with notable figures in the region's history, as well as its architectural uniqueness in a remote village of Bengal.
