Katra means market. There used to be a vegetable market, I was told. This mosque was built in 1723 on the instructions of Nawab Murshidkuli Khan, in whose name the town is named as Murshidabad. The guide said that he was a Hindu Bramhin converted to Islam after he was bought and reared by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. This mosque suffered in an earthquake and lost its three domes. The mosque still displays its elegance. The grave of Nawab Murshidkuli Khan is situated here.
