Ajgobi Mosque
Ajgobi Mosque is a small mosque in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, near a Border Guards Bangladesh camp along the Bankkhali River in Chowdhurypara. It dates from around the 17th century during the time of Mughal Prince Shah Shuja, though its exact age is not certain. Some reports suggest it might be older, possibly before the 14th century.
The mosque is simple in design: 30 feet long, 20 feet wide, with 5-foot-thick walls and no iron in construction. It has a pond to the north, a 5–6 foot veranda, and a courtyard on the east, and it is built in Mughal architectural style with a large central dome.
Local legends say jinns pray here at night, and people visit to vow or seek wishes. The building is said to have survived cyclones in 1960 and 1991. In 2020, the Department of Archaeology announced plans to preserve it as an archaeological site.
