Chilla kotha is a one storeyed rectangular shaped building which is locally known as Andhar kotha. There are three rooms existing inside the whole building. These rooms are almost same in dimension. The interesting thing is there is a secret room in the underground level, which is connected with a staircase to way out at the south-east corner of this building. The underground room is so dark as there is no ventilation system or window inside of it. There are some rectangular shaped panel outside the building.
The specific time period of this architecture is not known. Historians could dig the history as far as possible and from their review we got to know that the time period of Crori City of Panam Nogor and Chillakatha is the same.
Myth: Local people believes that it was being used as a meditation and praying place for different Muslim Saint & Sadhus. Specially, there is a belief among the local people that when some saints do their praying & meditation inside the Under ground room of this building then it was enlightened with a picture of Mekka Sharif. Some people also said that it was being used as a torcher cell for punishing people commited crime went against the rituals of Islam. In every year from the 25th of January a very local festival named ‘Oros sharif’ has been celebrated annually. Many people from different direction come to join this event.
Recently this building is almost being abandoned. The outer front side has been demolished and being decaying day by day. Necessary steps should be taken to conserve and preserve it for future generation.

[post_content] => Nimai Pirer Dargah is interesting as per the actual story behind this. 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.

Prior to 13th 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).

তেরো শতকের পূর্বে বাবা আদম শাহ মাজার এবং দীঘির কোন অস্তিত্ব ছিলনা। সেসময় বাংলাদেশ শাসন করতেন রাজার দ্বিতীয় পুত্র বল্লালসেন। তাঁর রাজধানী ছিল ঢাকার বিক্রমপুরে। রাজার শাসনামলে নিম্নবর্ণের হিন্দু, মুসলিম এবং খ্রিষ্টানদের ওপর নির্যাতন করা হত। সেসময় বাবা আদম (রঃ)এর আগমন ঘটে তাঁর ১২ জন শিষ্য সহ। সাধারণ মানুষ খুব অল্প সময়ে তাঁর শিষ্যদের ব্যাবহারে মুগ্ধ হন এবং এর ফলশ্রুতিতে মানুষজন ধীরে ধীরে ইসলাম ধর্ম গ্রহন করতে আরম্ভ করে। বগুড়ার শেরপুর থেকে যমুনা নদী পর্যন্ত বাবা আদম (রঃ) এর শক্ত প্রভাব ছিল। সেসময় আদমদীঘি থানার স্থানীয় মানুষজন পানি স্বল্পতার কারনে কষ্ট পাচ্ছিল।
বাবা আদম (রঃ) এর আহবানে অনেক হিন্দু, মুসলমানেরা এগিয়ে আসে এবং আদমদীঘির পাশে একটি খাল খনন করে যার ফলে পানির সংকট দূর হয়। পরবর্তীতে বাবা আদম (রঃ) এর নামানুসারে এই দিঘীটির নাম রাখা হয় আদম দীঘি। পরবর্তীতে মুসলমান এবং রাজা বল্লাল সেনের মধ্যে একটি যুদ্ধ সংঘটিত হয় যেখানে বাবা আদম (রঃ) গুরুতরভাবে আহত হন। তাঁকে দীঘির পাশে আনা হয় এবং তিনি এরপরই মৃত্যুবরন করেন। তাঁকে খালের দক্ষিনে দাফন করা হয়। সেই থেকে এই জায়গাটি বাবা আদম (রঃ) এর মাজার হিসেবে পরিচিত।
