The
Tetulia Jami Mosque, otherwise called the Khan Bahadur Salamatullah Mosque, and
the Tetulia Shahi Mosque, is situated in town of Tetulia (or Tentulia) in Tala
upazila in the locale of Satkhira in Bangladesh. The organizer of the mosque
was Khan Bahadur Maulvi Qazi Salamatullah Khan, of the zamindar (medieval
master) Qazi group of Tetulia, who was likewise the originator of the chateau
known as Salam Manzil (now in remnants) in the region. The six-domed mosque was
fabricated Mughal style in 1858-59 and takes after those constructed by Tipu
Sultan's relatives, as does the Salam Manzil, now in virtual rot.
In
1982, the front of the rotting "Shingho Doroja" ("Main
Door" in the Bengali dialect) – that is, the passage and access to Salam
Manzil – seemed to have engravings or examples on the divider. Strolling
through the door, one would locate an open compound containing a ton of
greenery. A long verandah with a disintegrating rooftop, upheld by a
twin-column framework, neglected the compound. Opening onto the verandah were
frail chambers, which used to capacity as workplaces previously, when the
chateau was in a working state. Before, one or more end-rooms of the verandah
had housed palkis (palanquins). One specific palki was gigantic and twelve
bearers were obliged to convey it.
It
is irregular to discover the utilization of the twin-column framework in a
remote town of Bengal in the mid 19th century. The twin-column framework was
important to bolster the rooftop, which had a few layers of support. The
separation of the rooftop from the beginning to be no less than ten and a half
feet.
In
the present time, the "Shingho Doroja" has been revamped to an
alternate style, however whatever is left of the Salam Manzil is in complete
vestiges.
