Adina Deer Park in Malda district of West Bengal, 21 kilometres from the district town Malda. The park is an important breeding centre for cheetal or spotted deer in the state and sometimes they overflow in number. The park also has a nilgai population. However, in spite of its name, the deer park is a small fraction of the area and protected within an orchard plantation. The woods are rich in butterfly and birds, specially Asian openbill, paradise flycatcher, prinia, oriole, fish eagle, etc.
The Adina Mosque was the largest mosque in the Indian subcontinent. It was built during the Bengal Sultanate as a royal mosque by Sikandar Shah, who is also buried in the mosque. Shah was a member of the Ilyas Shahi dynasty and carried lofty titles such as "the exalted Sultan" and "Caliph of the Faithful". The mosque is situated in Pandua, a former royal capital. The vast architecture is associated with the hypostyle of the Umayyad Mosque, which was used during the introduction of Islam in new areas. The early Bengal Sultanate harboured imperial ambitions after having defeated the Delhi Sultanate twice in 1353 and 1359. The Adina Mosque was commissioned in 1373. The sultanate disintegrated during the sixteenth century with the rise of the Mughal Empire
