Baba Adam Shah Mazar and Dighi

Type: Dargah

Contributed By: Nayeem

Brief

Prior to 13^th century, there was no existence of this Dighi. At that time this part of Bangladesh was ruled by Bollal Sen second son of the king. His capital was in Bikrampur, Dhaka. During the tenure of king low caste Hindus, Muslims and Christians were tortured. At that time Baba Adam (Ra) came with 12 of his disciples. The general people were impressed by the behavior of his disciples in a very short time. As a result many group of people slowly started converting to Islam. Baba Adam (Ra) had a strong influence from Sherpur of Bogra to Jamuna River.

At that time, the local people of Adamdighi thana were struggling due to scarcity of water. Responding to his call many Hindus, Muslims came and excavated a canal next to Adamdighi. The scarcity of water was removed through this canal. Later on this Dighi was named after the name of Baba Adam(Ra) as Adam Dighi. Later on a war was held between Muslims and Bollal Sen. In this war Baba Adam(Ra) was severely injured. He was bought to the Dighi and soon after he died. He was buried on south side of the canal. From then it was known as the Mazar of Baba Adam(Ra).

Muslim people believe this as a Mazar (মাজার) of a saint named Nasiruddin Pir (নাসির উদ্দিন পীর). But the Hindu people believe this as their place as his name was Nimai Pir (নিমাই পীর). Whoever the guy was, actually he used to do meditation here hour after hour by sitting in one place. After his death, people started to believe that the guy Nimai Pir (নিমাই পীর) might have achieved some supernatural power and that's why they use to gather here for something that I don't know. A village fair uses to held here during the Joishtho (জৈষ্ঠ), a month from Bengali Calendar which is May/June in English Calendar. Beside the Mazar(মাজার) a small moribund river is flowing named Tulshigonga (তুলসিগঙ্গা নদী). Very small one that looks like a canal. Also the flow of the river is very poor, can die in any day. You can have explore this river for few minutes during your visit here. Also, there are several old huge rain-trees available around the place. There is a lower implant of stones besides Patharghata Lilavumi. It is known as the expectation of the Pir. He would sit on a stone inlay before delivering speech. During the month of Chaitra in 1^st Monday there used to be Milad mehfil in the mazar. Few days after the Milad there used to be a carnival where thousands of Hindu-Muslims used to gather. This carnival was known as Patharghatar Mela. A lot of stones are found lying in here. There is a saying that Pir Saheb bought the stones from the river in miraculous ways. ) [1] => Array ( [name] => {:en}Chandrapara Pak Darbar Sharif{:}{:bn}চন্দ্রপাড়া পাক দরবার শরীফ{:} [post_id] => 5747 [post_link] => http://offroadbangladesh.com/places/chandrapara-pak-darbar-sharif/ [thumb_link] => http://offroadbangladesh.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Chandrapara-Pak-Darbar-Sharif1-mahmud1-300x225.jpg [post_content] => {:en}
