About

By its style the mosque is pre-Mughal, though no inscription gives its date. The saint's tomb lies in the graveyard next to it and draws pilgrims through the year.

It pairs well with the Tagore kachharibari in the same town. Dress modestly and visit outside prayer times.

Getting there: In Shahzadpur town, a short ride from the kachharibari.
