Dhanmondi Shahi Eidgah is a historic Islamic structure located in the Dhanmondi area of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Built in 1640 during the Mughal era, it served as an open-air prayer space for Eid congregations. The Eidgah is an architectural marvel featuring a large, open field surrounded by a boundary wall with ornamental gateways. Its design includes a central mihrab (prayer niche) and a raised platform, which was used by the imam to lead prayers. The site not only holds religious significance but also represents the rich cultural and architectural heritage of the Mughal period in Bengal.
