In Shibpur, Howrah
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
