Azimpur Dayera Sharif Khanqah

Azimpur Dayera Sharif Khanqah, Sufi khanqah and shrine in Azimpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Azimpur Dayera Sharif Khanqah is a Sufi shrine complex in Azimpur, Dhaka. Its small rectangular mosque has four octagonal corner towers topped with cupolas and a central dome on an octagonal drum. The founder's grave lies south of the mosque under a three-domed building; the eastern side of the mosque was extended four times, leaving the original structure visible only from the west.

Shah Sufi Sayed Muhammad Dayem founded this spiritual center in the 1760s and began construction of the main mosque in 1769. A gate modeled on Turkish design was later built in 1891.

The Persian word dayera means "circle" or "work area", and by rule the heirs of Dayera Sharif never leave the area except for the hajj. The successor, called Gaddi Nashin, sits on the gaddi to serve people; Shah Sufi Syed Shah Ahmedullah Jubayer has supervised the shrine since 1998.

The shrine is an active place of worship and pilgrimage, so visitors should show respect for religious practices and dress appropriately. The compound has several entrances and pathways, making it easy to explore the different sections at your own pace.

The shrine keeps an endowment mark, stamp and sign of Emperor Shah Jahan, along with a Quran he gifted. The family here traces a 700-year Sufi line in Bengal and is among the few Persian-speaking groups in Bangladesh.
