Title:

Northern façade of the Bara Sona or Golden Mosque, also known as the Baradarwazi, Gaur. Photographer: Beglar, Joseph Daviditch Melik

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

'List of Ancient Monuments in Bengal' (Calcutta, 1896), pp. 440-441: 'This was built by Nazrat Shah in 932 Hijri, and is the remains of a fine stone building. A slate which formed part of the base of one of several carved arches is detached. Many of these arches have been entirely spoiled, but it is desirable that no injury should be done to those ehich remain. The jungle round this building was cleared by Government in 1875 ... Some of the arches of the east verandah are still standing, but the rest are a heap of ruins. The Collector and Deputy Collector Mr. Davidson, consider this mosque to be the most remarkable building in Gaur and think it a pity that it is past all renovation, so many of the domes have fallen in, the walls are crumbling down, and tha massive and beautiful stones that formed part of the building have been removed for use in different places, Pandua, Murshidabad and Calcutta.'

Alexander Cunningham, 'Report of a tour in Bihar and Bengal in 1879-80' (A.S.I. vol. XV, Calcutta, 1882), pp. 66-69.
