Two high minarets of Mai Saheba Mosque, located on the south side of Sherpur Government College, the heart of Sherpur city, are visible from different parts of the city.

There is a story about the naming of the mosque in Mai Saheba Jame. At that time, Tinani, the zamindar of Sherpur, invited the zamindar of Muktagasa. 

The landowner of Muktagasa wants someplace in Sherpur in his badaul. As a result, the zamindar of Sherpur decided to give the mosque’s place to the zamindar of Muktagasa and ordered the destruction of the house used by the elephant to lift the existing Treasury. 

Once the elephant saw him approaching the house repeatedly, it sat down and saluted. On hearing this, the Tinani zamindar himself came and found a woman engrossed in worship inside this room. 

The zamindar realized his mistake and apologized, and went back. The woman’s name was Mai Saheb. 

After the death of Mai Saheb, the zamindar built a mosque here and renamed the mosque Mai Saheba Jame Masjid.
