How to get there What it costs

Seasonal warning: Open year-round; during mango season (May–August) the surrounding orchards add to the trip.

Introduction

Built under Sultan Alauddin Husain Shah (1493–1519), this is among the finest pre-Mughal monuments of Bengal. Its brick-and-stone structure takes its 'golden' name from domes once gilded; visitors see carved stonework, glazed tiles and fifteen original dome positions. It is the anchor sight of a Gaur-area day trip from Chapainawabganj town.

Suggested time: 1–2 hours

How to get there

From Chapainawabganj town, take a bus, CNG or easy-bike toward Shibganj; the mosque is in the Gaur area, about 0.5 km southeast of the Mughal Tahakhana complex. Confirm local fares.
