The Kusumba mosque was built under one of the last Suri rulers, named Ghiyasuddin Bahadur Shah.

[2] Although the earthquake caused severe damage, the main structure of the Kusumba Mosque survived.

[3] However, some of the external domes damaged in the earthquake were repaired by the Bangladesh Department of Archaeology.

[2] This water tank would often wet the ground near it, creating mud that was used in the construction of the mosque and the external wall.

[2] While the external wall was built from bricks,[2] the exterior of the mosque[1] and much of the floor inside[2] was made entirely of stone.

[2] The exterior walls are divided into two parts (top and bottom), separated by mouldings.

After the mosque was built, local artisans from the Kusumba village became trained in this style of arch.

[1] All the carvings on the external parts of the mosque are quite detailed and were made by skilled artisans.

[2] This is especially visible in the construction of the interior courtyard, which does not contain as many internal structures and features as other Bangladeshi mosques.

[3] In addition to these carvings, there is an inscription located on the exterior of the mosque that includes the date of construction and who it was built by.

[5] The entire inscription is written in Arabic,[5] specifically in the Tughra writing style.

[5] The most prominent feature of the interior part of the Kusumba Mosque is the large, open courtyard in the center of the structure.

This open architectural style means the mosque is well lit by sunlight and well ventilated by the wind.
