Dargah Gate is a ward in the Bangladesh city of Sylhet.[1][2][3] It houses the Shah Jalal Dargah.[4]
Shah Jalal Dargah
The Shah Jalal Dargah situated here is the shrine and burial place of the 14th century Sufi saint Shah Jalal. The site, known as a dargah, was originally constructed c. 1500. It became a religious centre in the region, respected across multiple ruling administrations and greatly venerated among Bengalis, with local folklore and legends developing around it. The extensive surrounding compound serves several functions and includes four mosques, a religious school and a public cemetery among others. The Dargah is presently the largest and most visited religious site in Bangladesh.[5]
