Azimpur Dayera Sharif Khanqah, Sufi shrine in Azimpur, Bangladesh.
The Azimpur Dayera Sharif Khanqah includes a main mosque with four octagonal corner towers, displaying traditional Mughal architecture and intricate interior designs.
Shah Sufi Sayed Muhammad Dayem established this spiritual center between 1766 and 1768, initiating the construction of the main mosque in 1769.
The representatives of this Sufi dynasty maintain Persian-speaking traditions and follow strict protocols where heirs remain within the shrine's boundaries except for pilgrimages.
The shrine compound contains multiple structures including a three-domed building housing the founder's grave and a Turkish-style main gate constructed in 1891.
The site preserves an endowment mark from Emperor Shah Jahan and houses a Quran gifted by the Mughal ruler, demonstrating connections with the Delhi Sultanate.
