Conservationist architect Abu Sayeed M Ahmed wrote, "This Eidgah is the oldest surviving Mughal monument in Dhaka city.

the Eidgah was built by Mir Abul Qasim, a Diwan of Shah Shuja and builder of Boro Katra.

The 15-foot high west wall, the only surviving part of it, has a 5-foot deep four –centred and stilted arched semi-octagonal Mihrab with an inscription on top.

The oldest surviving Mughal-era Eidgah here faces a threat from unplanned construction of a six-storeyed mosque on its premises, a media report said.

Architect Sayeed expressed the fear that the Eidgah structure may have been weakened by the rig vibration during construction of the new building.
