Chini Mosque

The Chini Mosque (Bengali: চিনি মসজিদ) is a Sunni mosque in the city of Saidpur, in the Rangpur region of Bangladesh. It is also known as the Glass Mosque, a name that refers to the ceramic and glass elements used in its decoration. It is regarded as one of the notable religious and architectural landmarks of northern Bangladesh and reflects the traditional building styles of the region in the nineteenth century. The mosque hosts daily prayers, sermons and special religious occasions, and it draws many visitors interested in traditional Islamic architecture and in ceramic and glass art.

The mosque was founded in 1863 by Haji Bakir Ali Ahmad and was completed within a year as a small prayer house. In the following years the founder's descendants carried out further expansions and improvements. Over time the building became a symbol of the cultural and religious heritage of Saidpur.
