Fact check:

We started our investigation with a reverse image search on Google, and the results led us to an extended version of the viral video uploaded on the YouTube channel named Gashchi Shahi Darbar Sharif on 20 June, 2025. The Bengali-language description says, “Wonderful music, wonderful bass tone.”

Using these hints, we conducted further searches and found Gashchi Shahi Darbar Sharif is a Sufi shrine located in the village of Raozan in Bangladesh’s Chittagong district. The community is widely known for their lively gatherings, which frequently feature devotional music, trumpets, and flutes as part of their rituals.

Moving forward, we found on their YouTube channel other videos of people playing musical instruments inside the same structure.

Additionally, we looked for the Gashchi Shahi Darbar Sharif shrine on Google Maps and found that it is located in Bangladesh. This makes it clear that the viral video is old and not from India.

Thus, it is clear that the viral video does not show people playing musical instruments inside a mosque in India disrupting the prayers. This is an old video from a Sufi shrine in Bangladesh.

Conclusion

Fact Crescendo found the claim made along with the video to be Misleading. This viral video does not show people playing musical instruments inside a mosque in India. This is an old video from a Sufi shrine in Bangladesh.
