Shahrasti Mazar & Three-Dome Mosque

শাহরাস্তি মাজার ও তিন গম্বুজ মসজিদ

The shrine of the Sufi saint Hazrat Shahrasti (Rasti) Rahmatullah in Shripur village, Shahrasti — with an old three-dome mosque and a large dighi beside it. An annual ors is held here. Opinions split, though: devotees come to pay respects, while one traveller wrote bluntly that there's 'nothing much to see' — hear both sides and decide.
