In Malda there is a heritage site called Lottan Masjid. There was a courtroom dancer named Lottan and the Masjid or Mosque was built in her name. During the reign of the muslim ruler the mosque was built with coloured bricks. Today only remains are there. The coloured bricks were either stolen or taken away and ordinary bricks are kept. But the architecture of the mosque is worth seeing.

@vsai2008 Thanks Saiji, in West Bengal the only unrest is in the hills for demand of separate state of Gorkhaland. There is no tension among Hindus, Muslims.

@sathviksouvik .. There never is...it is politicians and priests who like to keep communal disharmony alive..

Thanks Vannyji
in Malda there is no tension between Hindus and Muslims. Both the communities lived as villagers and relied on agriculture.

@vandana7 Thanks Vannyji, yes where people live in a community, it does not matter whether they have different faith, caste, etc. They work together, celebrate festivals together.

Most if the historical minutes are damaged and their valuable things are stolen, that's really sad
