His actual date of demise is still unknown. Followers of him made a dorgah beside his tomb. Recently by the donation of people, a mosque with a tall minaret has made.
The island is isolated. Trawlers commute on scheduled time only on day time. But anyone can visit the place if he is willing to visit sonargaon. Trawlers go there in half an hour interval so anyone can go and after spending 30 minutes can return with the next trawler.

{:}{:bn}খুলনা বিভাগের কুষ্টিয়া জেলার রেলস্টেশনের কাছে লালন ফকিরের আখড়া অবস্থিত। তিনি ছিলেন বহু গুনের অধিকারী। যেমনঃ তিনি ছিলেন একজন আধ্যাত্মিক নেতা, একজন জাদুকরি কবি, একজন সংস্কারক এবং বাউল গানের রচয়িতা। গবেষকরা বলেন লালন ফকির ১৭৭৪ সালে জন্ম গ্রহন করেন এবং ১৮৯০ সালে মৃত্যুবরন করেন। লালনের জীবনের প্রথম দিকের বর্ণনা নিয়ে বিতর্ক রয়েছে যা খণ্ডানো সম্ভব হয়নি।
স্থানীয়রা বলেন, কুষ্টিয়ার ভারোরা গ্রামের এক কায়াস্থ পরিবারে জন্মগ্রহন করেন লালন। প্রতি বছর কুষ্টিয়ার লালনের আখড়ায় লালন উৎসব পালিত হয় যেখানে দেশের বিভিন্ন স্থান থেকে বাউল এবং লালনের ভক্তরা জড়ো হন। অনেকেই সেসময় বাউল গান গেয়ে থাকে যা শ্রোতাদের মুগ্ধ করে।{:}
