Architecture
The exact date of the construction mosque is unclear. Based on its Mughal style, it is believed to have been constructed during the Mughal era.{{cite news |title=One Row Mosque in Lalmonirhat ['Ek katar masjid': A 500-year-old heritage site] |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/news/ek-katar-masjid-500-year-old-heritage-site-3591091 |access-date=2 October 2024 |work=The Daily Star |date=20 April 2024}} {{as of|2024}}, some locals estimated that the mosque was over 500 years old.{{cite news |last1=Aditmari Representative |first1=Lalmonirhat |date=28 March 2024 |script-title=bn:এক কাতার মসজিদ, দেয়ালে হাতুড়ির আঘাতে আগুনের ফুলকি বের হয়! |url=https://www.manobkantha.com.bd/news/print/602929 |access-date=2 October 2024 |work=The Manobkantha |language=bn-BD}}
The mosque can accommodate a single row for prayers, of approximately 14-15 worshipers; and hence its name.{{cite news |last1=Nurul Ferdous |first1=Lalmonirhat |date=1 May 2024 |title=এখনো জামাত হয় ৫০০ বছরের পুরোনো 'এক কাতার' মসজিদে |url=https://www.kalbela.com/country-news/84367 |access-date=2 October 2024 |work=Daily Kalbela |language=bn-BD}} The mosque has three domes; and bricks and lime-surki were used in its construction.
