Ramkot or Ramkut is situated in the Rajarkul union of Ramu Pourashova, four kilometers south of Ramu Chowmohony Bus station.
It is one of the most ancient historical sites of the district. Research- scholars unanimously hold the view that it had been one of the northern forts of the kingdom of Arakan from where the governor of Ramu called “Pomaja” in Arkanese dialect ruled south Chittagong over which the Arakanese kings had been holding their sway for about one thousand years. Here in the mediaeval age the Tippera and the Mughal armies fought fierce and sanguinary battles against the Arakanese troops by turns in order to take possession of this fort as well as Chittagong and Cox’s Bazar regions.
It is now mostly known for its age-old shrines of the Buddhists and the Hindus. According to the Hindu mythology, Ram Chandra, the prince of Oudh, came to this place accompanied by his wife Sita while he had been in exile for twelve years and stayed here for some time. Hence, the place is called Ram Kshetra or Ramkut or Ramkot.

রামকোটকে বলা যেতে পারে কক্সবাজার জেলার সবচেয়ে প্রাচীন স্থানগুলোর মধ্যে একটি। গবেষকরা সকলেই একমত হয়েছেন যে আরাকান রাজার প্রায় হাজার বছরের শাসনকালে এই স্থানটি ছিল আরাকান রাজ্যের উত্তরাঞ্চলীয় দুর্গ যেখান থেকে রামুর গভর্নর (যাকে আরকানিজ ভাষায় বলা হত ‘পোমাজা’) দক্ষিন চট্রগ্রাম শাসন করতেন। মধ্যযুগীয় আমলে চট্রগ্রাম এবং কক্সবাজার অঞ্চলের পাশাপাশি এখানকার দুর্গ দখলের জন্য টিপ্পেরা এবং মুঘল বাহিনীর সাথে আরকানিজ বাহিনীর বেশকিছু পৃথক রক্তক্ষয়ী যুদ্ধ সংঘটিত হয়েছিল।
বৌদ্ধ এবং হিন্দুদের প্রাচীন উপাসনালয়ের উপস্থিতির কারনে এই স্থানটি বেশি পরিচিত। হিন্দু শাস্ত্র অনুযায়ী উধের যুবরাজ রামচন্দ্র বারো বছর নির্বাসনে থাকাকালে তাঁর স্ত্রী সীতাসহ এখানে এসে কিছুদিন অবস্থান করেন। একারনেই এই স্থানটিকে বলা হয় রামশেতরা অথবা রামকুট অথবা রামকোট।

From early ages it's very familiar that Munshiganj was a sacred place for Hindu and Buddha religious people. simultaneously, it was also famous for some Muslim religious saint as well. The most ancient mark of Muslim civilization of Vikrampur is the "Tetul Tolar Mazar" (তেতুল তলার মাজার) also known as "Baro Aouliar Mazar"(বারো আওউলিয়ার মাজার) in Boro Keoar village under Munshiganj district.
This place is believed to be a very sacred place from early days. There were about 12 graves divided into two rows. Muslims used to perform various religious practices like Milad, Zikr and recitation from holy Quran at this place. The Mazar was renovated in 1974. A stone was discovered at time of renovation work. The stone was inscribed with names of 12 Muslim clerics. The stone was also marked with "Kalema Tayeba" and "Hizri 421" which means the inscription of the stone dates back to 974 AD.
Munshiganj was then known as Vikrampur. The king of Vikrampur during that time was Maharajadhiraj Sree Chandra. This marks the evidence of prevalence of Muslim community in Boro Keoar village, a place infested by Buddhists mainly. Since the renovatinon in 1974, Tetul Tolar Mazar is now famous as "Baro Aouliar mazar".
The names of Arabic Muslims that was found inscribed on the stone are:
1) Shah Sultan Hossainy (R)
2) Sultan Sabbir Hossain (R)
3) Taqbeer Hashemee (R)
4) Al Hassan (R)
5) Sheikh Hossain (R)
6) Abul Hashem Hossainy (R)
7) Hafez Abu Bakar Siddique (R)
8) Hazrat Yaseen (R)

Kodom Paglar Mazar is situated On Dhaka-Maowa Highway. It is formally known as "Kodom Ali Mostan er Dorgah". Another Dorgah(দরগা) with the same name is also there in the Sirajdikhan Upazila. Second one is situated near the bank of the mighty river Padma. It is just 200 meters ahead of Ghordour (ঘোড়দৌড়) Bazar, Louhajang, Munshiganj.
The history we came to know is almost like a legend. The actual tomb of "Kodom Pagla" was near the bank of Padma river. One night, due to erosion the tomb was washed away. After that there was several replica of his tomb was made by his followers. One of them is the one we mentioned in the Louhajang area.
The unique thing about Kodom Paglar Mazar is that, he was a preacher of Islam. Though photography is prohibited in Islam still a photograph of Kodom Pagla or Kodom Mostan is still found in his dorgah in Louhojong.
