Kushtia Eidgah (Bengali: কুষ্টিয়া ঈদগাহ) also known as the Kushtia Central Eidgah is a religious site located in Kushtia, Bangladesh. The main congregational prayers for the two Eid festivals in Kushtia are held at this Eidgah.[1][2] It was established in 1945.[3]

History

The Eidgah was established in 1945 in the Courtpara (Eidgahpara) neighborhoods in Kushtia. In the same year the Sirajul Haq Muslim High School was established to the north of the Eidgah. Notable individuals such as Maulana Mezbahr Rahman, Advocate Abdur Rahim, and Khandaker Lutfel Haque were among the key initiators behind the establishment of the Eidgah.[3]

Infrastructure

The Eidgah ground covers an area of approximately 1.5 acres (6,100 m2). There are a total of five entrances around the site. A central minbar (pulpit) is located on the western side. Recently, an ablution (wudu) facility has been constructed. The entire floor of the Eidgah is paved.[3]

Location

The Eidgah is located in the Eidgah Para area of Kushtia. On the west side of the Eidgah are the Afsar Uddin Mahila Fazil Madrasa and the Kamrul Islam Siddique Municipal Shishu Park. To the north lies the Muslim High School, Kushtia, while to the south is the Kushtia Government College. The eastern side is known as Eidgahpara.[3] The distance from the Kushtia Court railway station to the Eidgah is approximately 0.55 kilometres (550 m).
