Shaharpara

Shaharpara stands beside the Ratna River in the wetland country west of Sylhet. Local tradition credits Shah Kamal Quhafa and his companions with founding the settlement in the early fourteenth century. The village grew on raised ground among the waters, and the tombs associated with Shah Kamal and his family became places of remembrance. His followers and descendants helped establish Shaharpara as a centre of Muslim religious life in the surrounding countryside.
