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.
