The domed tomb of Bagerhat's founder, who died in 1459, on the bank of the Thakur Dighi tank — still a busy place of pilgrimage.
Khan Jahan Ali, who built the mosque city of Bagerhat, died in 1459 and is buried in a square, single-domed tomb of stone and brick on the northern bank of the Thakur Dighi. A small mosque of the same design stands beside it, and the Department of Archaeology protects the site.
Khan Jahan Ali is revered as a saint, and the mazar draws a steady stream of pilgrims, more on Thursdays and at the annual urs. It is part of the Bagerhat World Heritage Site, a few kilometres from the Sixty Dome Mosque.
For generations visitors came to see the crocodiles of the Thakur Dighi. The last one was removed on 3 June 2026 after it killed a child, so do not expect to see crocodiles, and keep children back from the water.
