Khan Jahan Ali came from Delhi to settle a Muslim colony in this swampland in the early-15th century AD with a view to knowing people about islam . he constructed about 360 mosques , many freshwater tanks, as well as palaces, mausoleums as well as other public buildings in a very short space of time.

The name Shait Gombuj mosque meaning '60 domes', is misleading as in reality, it is roofed over with 77 small domes supported by a forest of slender columns covering a large prayer hall.
