Located on Saat Masjid road in Dhaka's Dhanmondi residential area, the Mughal Eidgah—also known as the Dhanmondi Shahi Eidgah—was built in 1640 during the Mughal era and remains in active use for Eid celebrations. This open-air prayer ground exemplifies Mughal architectural traditions and stands as the oldest surviving Mughal monument in Dhaka city, with no comparable structure sharing its distinctive architectural forms and features. Designated as a listed archaeological site by the Department of Archaeology, it holds significant historical, architectural, and heritage value for Bangladesh.
