A remarkable find was made when donation receptacles at the Pagla mosque in Kishoreganj, bangladesh, turned out 29 bags full of cash in addition to large amounts of foreign currency and gold jewelry. As is customary every three to four months, this happened on saturday morning when the mosque's eleven contribution boxes were opened.
 
Prothom Alo says that the donations exceeded ₹4.25 crore (about 6 crore Bangladeshi Taka) barely four hours after the counting procedure started at 7 AM (Indian Standard Time). Coins and tiny denominations are still being counted.

When these boxes were last opened in August, nine of them held donations totaling more than 7.22 crore Taka. Both the quantity of boxes and the donations within have grown this time. According to officials, this collection has the potential to surpass all prior mosque records.
 
Several purposes are supported by the money raised at the Pagla mosque, including giving donations to other madrasas and mosques in the Kishoreganj area. Additionally, a portion of the funds are used to support those with serious illnesses.
 
Nearly 300 individuals participated in the counting on saturday, including 70 police officers, bank personnel, and members of the mosque committee.
 
Bangladesh is not the only country with such important collections. Around the world, religious sites like Punjab's golden temple and Andhra Pradesh's tirupati Temple receive sizable gifts each year, which are then used toward social welfare initiatives and infrastructural upgrades.
 
This occasion serves as a reminder of the great generosity of followers and the vital role that their contributions play in bolstering social welfare programs in the community.
