The Old Mosque and the Fort Mound

On the village's outskirts stands a mosque dating to the period of Muslim rule in Bengal, not a grand imperial monument but an honest provincial example of the form, worth ten minutes of attention for anyone interested in regional Islamic architecture. Nearby rises a grassy mound long held by locals to contain the ruins of a medieval fort said to have fallen to Sher Khan's forces in the 16th century. There is nothing to see but the mound itself; it's a place for imagining rather than documenting.
