Shrine of Hazrat Bayazid Bostami
Named in honor of an Islamic saint, the Shrine of Hazrat Bayazid Bostami is located on the stop of a gently sloping hill at Nasirabad, near Chittagong in Bangladesh. The dargah, or shrine, complex consists of the tomb that has been enclosed in a modern structure, along with an ancient mosque believed to date back to the time of the last great Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb (1658-1707). While locals acknowledge that the body of Hazrat Bayazid Bostami is not in fact buried there, the tomb is nonetheless the object of veneration for the many worshippers who visit there each day.
