District : Chattogram
Upazila : Baijid Bostami (thana)
The shrine of Bayezid Bostami is the holiest place in Chittagong which is located in Nasirabad area of Chittagong city. This is a memorial pillar made for Hazrat Bayezid Bostami. However, many religious people believe that this shrine is the actual tomb of Hazrat Barzid Bostami. In 874, Sultan Bayezid Bostami died in his hometown of Bostan, Iran. And there he was buried. There is a legend about pond fish and turtles beside the shrine. There are reports that these were the evil genes.
Because the genes were obstructing the worship of Hazrat Baijid Bostami, Bayazid Bostami converted them into fishes and casts in his miraculous powers. In 2005, some miscreants poured poisons into this pond and killed the fish.
A 3-domed mosque will be seen next to this shrine. The mosque is built in the eighteenth century. It is also known to many people as Aurangzeb Mosque.
