The Bechigi mosque is located in the village of Bechigi in the Itum-Kali district of Chechnya, 5 km southeast of the district center of Itum-Kali, on the left side of the Chanty-Argun River, behind the Bechigan Duk ridge. Built in the XIX century, it is a valuable monument of religious architecture.

The mosque is a rectangular building made of processed stone on clay-lime mortar.

The mihrab of the mosque, which has a rounded shape, is preserved at a height of 1 meter from the base. On the southern wall, at a height of 1 m, there are two window openings measuring 1.25 x 0.95 m, located on either side of the lost minaret. The roof of the building is missing, but the main architectural elements have been preserved.

The Bechig mosque is part of the cultural heritage of the region and is located on the territory of the Argun Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve.
