Dargah of Syed Shahnur Dewan

Location

Dargah of Syed Shahnur Dewan, one of the shrines belonging to Muslim faith, is located at Bhella, nearly 8 km away from the destination. It is believed that during medieval period, Syed Shahnur Dewan, a disciple of Muslim Sufi saint Ajan Fakir, arrived at the site for spreading Islamic religion and Sufi philosophies.

Being trained in divine healing powers, the saint cured maternity problem of Queen Fuleswari, wife of Ahom King, Shiva Singha. At the end of the cure, Shiva Singha and Chandra Kanta Singha donated patronages and land to the fakir. The copper plate inscriptions lost during the Burmese invasions of 1824 have records of these donations and grants.
