To the reign of Sikandar Shāh are also ascribed several other monuments including the mosque and minar at Chhotā Pāndua in the Hughli District and the mosque and tomb of Akhī Sirāj-ud-dīn at Gaur. But though the two former are supposed to have been erected by Shāh Saif-ud-dīn, a nephew of Fīrūz Shāh Tughluq, it is obvious that their style belongs to the fifteenth rather than the fourteenth century; while the two latter were so extensively restored in 1510 as to have lost practically all value as examples of fourteenth-century work.
