The Bangladeshi Department of Archaeology designated the mosque as a protected monument.

It is situated approximately 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) northeast of Rajarhat Upazila headquarters in the village of Baparipara.

[2] No inscription has been found in the mosque, making it impossible to determine its exact date of construction.

According to local legend, about 1720 the village zamindar, Shamir Uddin Biyapari, returned from performing Hajj on foot and constructed this mosque.
