Baro Aouliar Mazar

The most ancient mark of Muslim civilization of Vikrampur is the "Tetul Tolar Mazar" in Boro Keora 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 Keora village, a place infested by Buddhists mainly. Since the renovatinon in 1974, Tetul Tolar Mazar is now famous as "Baro Aouliar mazar".
