Laskarpur

Laskarpur lies in the Habiganj country south of the Sylhet wetlands. The region is associated with the Muslim leader Saiyid Nasiruddin, remembered as a companion of Shah Jalal and an early ruler of Taraf. At nearby Shankarpasha stands a mosque of the Bengal Sultanate period, its brickwork recalling the spread of Muslim institutions into the eastern frontier. Laskarpur later served as an administrative centre for the surrounding country.
