He was not only a singer and poet but also a great thinker and philosopher. He had knowledge on all religions and people did follow him for his diverse knowledge. Nobody knows from where Lalon Shah came from. According to locals, in 1774 an honorable Muslim man of locality named Molom Shah found Lalon floating over a river. Lalon was very sick and was going to die almost. But Molom Shah took very well care and gradually Lalon became well. After getting a new life Lalon became a follower of a great thinker and singer Shiraj Shah. But Shiraj Shah found something strange inside of Lalon and he became the follower of Lalon.

Chittagong Circuit House and Zia Memorial Museum Chittagong Circuit House and is situated near Chittagong Stadium at Kazir Dewri and 3 km. North end of the Zero point. President Zia was killed on this circuit house on the date of May 30th 1981 in the room no 04. Most of Zia’s activities including his household goods are preserved in this museum. Actually the house was built by British for their government’s high officials' as there resident; this house was also used by Pakistani army as a torturing center during the liberation war of Bangladesh. Pak army killed thousands of Bengladeshi in this house. Still the building looking very good and you will taste the architecture of the then British period.

১৯৮১ সালের ৩০শে মে এই সার্কিট হাউজের ৪ নং কক্ষে রাষ্ট্রপতি জিয়াউর রহমান নিহত হন। এখানে রাষ্ট্রপতি জিয়ার ব্যবহার করা ব্যাক্তিগত সামগ্রী সংরক্ষণের পাশাপাশি তাঁর বিভিন্ন কর্মকাণ্ডের বর্ণনা রয়েছে। এই ভবনটি ইংরেজরা পদস্থন সরকারি কর্মকর্তাদের বাসভবন হিসেবে নির্মাণ করেছিল। এছাড়া স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধের সময় এই ভবনটি পাক বাহিনীর টর্চার সেল হিসেবে ব্যবহার করা হয়। বহু নিরপরাধ বাঙ্গালীকে ধরে এনে পাক বাহিনী এখানে অমানুষিক নির্যাতনের পর হত্যা করে। এখনও ভবনটি বেশ ভাল অবস্থায় রয়েছে। এখানে আসলে ইংরেজ আমলের স্থাপত্যশৈলীর জাকজমক চোখে পড়ে।
