Title:

View from the south-east of the Chota Sona Masjid or Small Golden Mosque, Gaur. Photographer: Beglar, Joseph Daviditch Melik

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

'List of Ancient Monuments in Bengal' (Calcutta, 1896), pp. 436-437: 'The Khojeki (Eunuch's) or small golden mosque. This mosque was constructed between A.H. 899-929 in the Pathan style. It is built of brick faced with stone ... Is not in good preservation, though the domes appear to be as yet uninjured, but trees are growing freely on the outside of the building. The walls are much dilapidated and are fast crumbling to ruin. The existing building, which stands almost on the very district road leading to Nawabganj from English Bazar, is in the opinion of the Collector, past all attempt at renovation.'

Alexander Cunningham, 'Report of a tour in Bihar and Bengal in 1879-80' (A.S.I. vol. XV, Calcutta, 1882), pp. 73-76.
