Amborkhana Dargah mosque in Sylhet, Bangladesh is a historic architectural monument which reflects the glorious past of Islam through its beautiful architectural quality. This volume examines the architectural aspects of the mosque, exploring its history in a chronological framework and charting its development to the present with contemporary drawings and photographs by British troops. The architectural aspects of the mosque, its section and leveling are being investigated and also the description is made about the section of the mosque. In this, the civilization and the foliage density around the dargah were observed. Contemporary photography documents the current state of the mosque and its continued religious and cultural significance. The research combines history and context with today’s heritage challenges and may serve as a paradigm to help lead the way to heritage awareness and saving the architectural character of the traditional urban village of Sylhet. This study provides an evidence-based perspective, by paying equal attention to sustainable heritage management and the importance of history and community in a city that is rapidly urbanized.
