Details

 One of the archeological resources of Dinajpur is the Chehelgazi Mazar Sharif. The mausoleum, located about 5 km north of Dinajpur city, is 36 cubits long, 6 feet wide and 4 feet high. In fact, Chehelgazi is not the name of a special person. The word Chehel means forty. It is believed that in the early days of Muslim rights, a group of forty cavalrymen or mujahids came to this part of the Barind land inhabited by the Bedabrakshans to spread the message of monotheism and advanced civilization of the great Islam, but were intercepted and killed . It is in this battlefield that all of them are buried together. Many visitors come to see this cemetery as one of the holy places of Dinajpur.
