Mausoleum of Lalon Shah, Mausoleum in Cheuriya, Kumarkhali Upazila, Bangladesh

The Mausoleum of Lalon Shah is a white marble structure with a central dome and Bengali architectural features located in Cheuriya village. The building sits within a complex that includes museum galleries displaying related historical and spiritual materials.

Lalon Shah died in 1890 and the current structure was completed in 1963 after being officially inaugurated by East Pakistan's governor. This marked a major shift in how the spiritual teacher was commemorated and became a pilgrimage destination.

Lalon Shah settled in Cheuriya, where he initiated devotees and held winter gatherings for Baul songs and discussions of dehatattva, the body-centred philosophy. His beloved disciples are buried beside him. The Lalon Fair is held twice a year, at Dol Purnima and on 1 Kartik (16 October), with all-night Baul singing; critics note that a ganja session takes place at the fair.

The site is best explored on foot since the buildings are close together and the paths are straightforward to navigate. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and prepare for uneven ground, especially during the rainy season.

The fair is held twice a year, at Dol Purnima and on 1 Kartik (16 October), and lasts all night. Critics have long noted that a ganja session takes place at the fair, where devotees consume the substance. The shrine is decorated in colours for the occasion.
