Shah Paran Mazar
হযরত শাহপরান (রঃ) এর মাজার
The hilltop shrine of Shah Paran, a Sufi saint and nephew of Shah Jalal, which together with the Shah Jalal Shrine is one of Sylhet's two major pilgrimage sites.
Shah Paran was a nephew and disciple of Shah Jalal, who came to Sylhet with him. His shrine sits on a small hill about 8 km east of the city center. Visitors must climb a flight of stairs to reach it. The area is surrounded by lush trees, and the atmosphere is quieter than that of the Shah Jalal Shrine in the city. Pilgrims often visit both shrines on the same day. Admission is free. Visitors must remove their shoes and dress modestly. A CNG auto-rickshaw from the city center takes about 20-30 minutes.
