Dargah Sharif of Hazrat Syed Ahmad (RA) in Kharampur of Akhaura Upazila of Brahmanbaria District is well known as Kella Shahid Mazar (Kella Shahid Mazar) throughout Bangladesh. It is said that fishermen of Kharampur area used to go fishing in Titus river at that time. Similarly, one day while fishing in the river, a broken head was caught in the net. Then Chaitan Das and the other fishermen who were with him started talking about the broken head miraculously when they wanted to lift the head out of fear. The head says that a believer and an atheist can never be the same. Do not touch my head until you recite the Kalima and become a Muslim. Hearing such words, the Hindu fishermen recited Kalema and became Muslims. And according to the instructions of Khandit Shir, he was buried in the Kharampur cemetery. Those converted fishermen are the original descendants of Kella Shaheed Mazar.
The then Maharaja of Agartala State donated 260 acres of land for the establishment of Dargah Sharif. According to many, Hazrat Syed Ahmad Geshudaraj was one of the 360 disciples who arrived in Sylhet with Hazrat Shah Jalal (RA). Hazrat Syed Ahmad Geshudaraj was martyred in a battle with King Achak Narayan of Taraf kingdom and his dismembered head was washed away in the river. Thousands of devotees and visitors throng the premises of the Fort Shahid Shrine during the annual Ors and throughout the year.
