This is a perfect example of neglect to our heritage and history. Such a massive structure is getting illegally occupied by locals. Govt has no vision / wish to restore and preserve this monument. Mosque is getting weak day by day. I climbed the almost non existent stairs to reach the top of the mosque. It's in very poor condition. Requesting any one associated to govt who ever come across this review to kindly look after this whether a heritage tag or anything else can be arrenged for this historical monument. It's our history. We have to preserve it.
Among Some unidentified places in Murshidabad. Fauti masjid- was built in 1740AD in just 1 night. It is emulation of Katra masjid. Nawab Sarfaraz Khan, who built the mosque, died (faut) in a battle. From that, the mosque named fauti masjid. At present it is nothing but ruins covered with jungle. It can collapse in any moment. We are loosing a historic element for not being maintained (AND OUR NEGLIGENCE). Now it is not even in the to-see list of tourists. But some history-lover can still find the beauty❤️
Local people says, This Masjid was built by one night, On the top there is a hole (Futa) Thats why the name
Very old and beautiful mosque. But almost dilapidated, no maintenance.
This is an ancient mosque. Love to visit there.
