Chini Mosque, also known locally as 'Chini Masjid', is a celebrated architectural landmark located in Syedpur, Nilphamari. Constructed in the early 20th century by a local zamindar, this mosque is distinguished by its elaborate use of colored ceramic pieces—commonly referred to as 'chini'—which cover the walls, pillars, and domes in intricate floral and geometric patterns. The broken porcelain and ceramic fragments used in its decoration were collected from discarded household items and imported plates, giving the mosque its unique aesthetic and historical character. The mosque features multiple domes and minarets, and the blend of Mughal and local styles represents a remarkable example of community-led artistry. It stands as a testament to the devotion and craftsmanship of local artisans. Besides being a functioning place of worship, Chini Mosque is a popular destination for architecture enthusiasts and tourists. It plays a central role during religious festivals like Eid, when thousands of people gather here for prayers and celebration. Its artistic and spiritual significance continues to inspire admiration across generations.
