The mosque was built in 1740 by Nawab Sarfaraz Khan of Bengal. According to tradition, it was raised in a single night, although it is also said that Sarfaraz Khan employed builders for several months. The domes remain unfinished. The structure is now in a ruinous state and is no longer in use as a mosque.

Aus Wikipedia

The Fauti Mosque, also known as the Phuti Mosque, is a former mosque in a ruinous state, located at Kumarpur in the Murshidabad-Jiaganj CD block in the Lalbag subdivision of Murshidabad district, in the state of West Bengal, India. It was built by Nawab Sarfaraz Khan in 1740 CE. The old Fauti Mosque was one of the largest mosques in the town of Kumarpur and is approximately 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) from the Hazarduari Palace.

Hazarduari Palace and its associated sites in the Kila Nizamat area are a major centre of attraction in Murshidabad. Just a little away are Katra Masjid, Fauti Mosque, Jama Masjid and the Motijhil area. There is a group of attractions in the northern part of the town. Some attractions such as Khushbagh, Rosnaiganj, Baranagar, Kiriteswari Temple, Karnasuvarna and others are on the other side of the river and there are attractions in the neighbouring Berhampore area.

Contained within the mosque grounds is the Tomb of Nawab Sarfraz Khan at Naginabagh, a State Protected Monument.
