📖 About This Attraction

The revered "Black Gem of Bengal", an exquisite black basalt stone mosque built in 1558 AD by Sulaiman Sur, famously depicted on the Bangladeshi 5 Taka banknote.

Constructed on the west bank of the Atrai River in Manda upazila during the Suri Afghan period, Kusumba Mosque is built entirely of finely dressed dark basalt stone. Known as the "Kala Pahar" (Black Hill), it features six low hemispherical domes, intricate floral stone rosettes, and an elevated royal gallery (Badshah-ka-Takht) supported by stone pillars. It is famously printed on the Bangladeshi 5 Taka note.
