Mosques and Mazar Sharif of Midnapore: A Study of History and Architecture

Author(s) Dr. Md Ajim Ali
Country India
Abstract Midnapore, the headquarters of Paschim Midnapore district, can be called a city of Mosques. The town is filled with countless Mosques (Masjid) and Shrines (Mazar). As a result of the arrival of many Pirs, Fakirs, and Sufis in the town of Midnapore, many Mosques, Mazars and Eidgahs have been built. The architectural styles of Mosques and Shrines are diverse and attractive. The underlying ideology of Islam has become deeply and fundamentally embedded in the fabric of architecture. The symbol of world peace, Islam, is not limited to the appeal or opportunity for worship of a single person; rather, the well-being of life lies in building unity with everyone, and its architectural designs have become diverse. Just as the taste and cultural identity of the people of a region can be found through the architecture of a region, so too can we get some idea of the ruling class and administration of that region and their character. At the same time, the extent and expansion of administration can also be felt based on the trend of urbanization in the relevant region and its sources. As mosques and shrines were built in various Muslim neighborhoods within the city of Midnapore, traces of Muslim architecture are observed in those areas. As mosques and shrines were built in various Muslim neighborhoods of Midnapore Town, traces of Muslim architecture and Muslim settlements can be observed in those areas. Notable Mosques and Mazars in the town of Midnapore are Dewan Khana Mosque, Rammaj Mosque, Chandan Shaheed Baba Mazar and Mosque, Jora Mosque, Gambhira Baba Mazar, etc. The pinnacles above the Mosque's dome and the various designs inside the mosque add a new dimension to the architectural style.
Keywords mosque (masjid), mazar (shrine), architecture, midnapore, urs, etc.
