Saptagram (or Satgaon) was an ancient major port, the chief city and sometimes capital of southern Bengal.

Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay mentioned in his novel, “Kapalkundala,” that the ancient port city of Saptagram was a very wealthy city. People from Java Island (Indonesia), Romans, etc., used to visit this port city for business purposes. The port was at the confluence of the Hooghly and Saraswati Rivers. However, as the Saraswati River changed its course, the importance of Saptagram as a port town diminished. 

This brick and stone ruin of the mosque is the only remaining connection to Adisaptagram’s glorious past as a port town in medieval Bengal

It is a unique brick-built mosque decorated with terracotta ornamentation. It represents the terracotta elements of the Indo-Islamic architecture of Bengal.

The mosque was built during the reign of the Bengali sultan Nasiruddin Nasrat Shah.

The nearest railway station from the place is Adi Saptagram train station. Toto or Auto can be reserved from the station to visit the spot.

A stone foundation plaque attached to the mosque states that it was constructed by Sayed Jamaluddin, son of Sayed Fakhruddin of Amol during the reign of Nasiruddin Nasrat Shah. The date mentioned in the inscription is Ramadan AH 936 (1529/1530 CE), in the month of May. Within the mosque complex are three tombs, which belong to Sayed Fakhruddin, his wife, and his eunuch.
