Pathar ki Masjid, Hajipur

In ancient times after crossing the Ganga at Patna the first village was Ukkacala, now called Hajipur. Hajipur figures during the struggle between Akbar and his rebellious Afghan governors of Bengal, in 1572 and 1574. Within the village is an old fort with a small stone mosque Pathar ki masjid.

It is plain to look at and is of peculiar architecture, and is credited to Haji Iliyas, founder (c. 1350). Also here lie a portion of Ananda`s ashes. Ananda acted as Buddha`s personal . The Pathar ki Masjid measures 84.5 ft. long and 33.5 ft. broad. Pathar ki Masjid has three domes, the central one is larger than the others. An inscription over the stone gateway records the year of construction as 1587 AD.
