The Tipu Sultan Masjid KolkataThe Tipu Sultan Shahi Mosque (also known as Tipu Sultan Masjid) is a famous mosque in Kolkata, India named after Tipu Sultan the ruler of Mysore. Located at 185 Dhartamtalla Street, the mosque is a relic of architectural and cultural heritage.This building was built in 1842 by Prince Ghulam Mohammed, the youngest son of Tipu Sultan. An identical mosque, which was earlier built in 1835 by him is at Tollygunge. The Ghulam Mohammed Wakf Estate manages the two mosques now. At first, Ghulam Mohammed used his own money to purchase a land in the central area of Calcutta and Built this mosque in 1842, in memory of his father Tipu Sultan. A news was also published on the occasion of the purchase. This mosque is a relic of the architectural and cultural heritage of Kolkata.In early 80s Tipu Sultan Masjid was damaged due to constructions works of Metro Railway in the Esplanade area. The move was regarded as a highly communal stand of the state govt. Nonetheless, after that, fearing backlash, a committee was formed to repair the mosque. Afterwards, the Mosque was restored with the joint effort of Tipu Sultan Shahi Masjid Protection & Welfare Committee and the Metro Railway.

Masjid E Ala or Tipu Sultan Masjid is one of beautiful architecture of Tipu Sultan era. This beautiful architecture has made by Tipu himself in around 1784AD. It is a two floored building with a big prayer hall inside. Persian letters engraved on its inside wall make it more beautiful. Till today the Masjid runs under Tipu Sultan masjid trust and its quite well maintained do visit if you want to explore Srirangapatna.

One of the well known heritage sites of central Calcutta Tipu sultan masjid serves as a place of worship, a landmark building, a great example of eastern architecture and being in one of the most popular areas ok kolkata to have great food as well as utilities to buy. Situated just at the Esplanade mansions, lenin sarani crossing, the place has been an enthralling place for years now. Coming from south one can get down at KC Das and visit it, while coming from North one can land at Victoria house i.e. the CESC building and walk towards KC Das to visit it.

This is a very beautiful historical and huge mosque.Luckily, I had the opportunity to visit this mosque and perform Namaz. When I went to visit West Bengal, I offered prayers in this mosque before going to visit the Victoria Memorial.The one thing that I found very beautiful here was the feeding of several pigeons here. And more than that, a man was standing there and feeding them to give food to those pigeons.This scene was very beautiful, memorable unforgettable and emotional for me.
