Shrine of Basri Shah

Before the establishment of Kolkata there was an old mosque in the place of present Basri Shah Mosque. The present mosque was built in 1219 Hijri by Jafir Ali. The mosque was named after the shrine of Basri Shah situated nearby. Basri was a saint who was from Basra in Iraq and settled in Kolkata sometimes between 1760 and 1790. After his death a shrine was made by his followers.[3] The mosque had been abandoned for many years. Kolkata Municipal Corporation added the mosque to its heritage list with renovation work.[2]
