Construction began in 2018 and, at a cost of 250 million Bangladeshi Taka, took 5 years to complete. Charfassion Municipality contributed 100 million Taka. The mosque was officially inaugurated on 20 October 2023.[2][5]
Description
Designed by architect Kamruzzaman Liton, the Khasmahal Mosque is a four-story building with a basement, totaling 53,200 square feet. The adhan is broadcast from the top of Jakob Tower.[2] It has a single dome with a spider-web-inspired design.[3] The main entrance features a long, tall staircase made of white stone.[2] LED lighting is installed both inside and outside for aesthetic effect, with fountains, flower gardens, and walking paths around the courtyard.[2]
The main prayer hall can accommodate about 4,500 worshippers during salat. A separate prayer area is available for women with a capacity of 500. The mosque includes facilities for ablution for 200 people and dedicated rooms for imams and muezzins.[3]
Architecture
The Khasmahal Mosque is built in a modern style. Ceramic brick walls with perforations allow natural ventilation, reducing electricity use for lighting and temperature control. The interior uses a white cement coating mixed with dense stone pieces to maintain an eco-friendly environment.[3] The dome is made of glass to allow direct sunlight, a first in Bangladesh.[2]
