Zinda Pir’s Tomb Complex

The Zinda Pir's Tomb Complex, known as Zinda Pir's Mazar (Bengali: জিন্দাপীরের মাজার) situated half a kilometres west of Khan Jahan's tomb in Bagerhat, is traditionally associated with a saint identified as Ahmad Ali. The name of Zinda Pir translates to “Living Saint”. Enclosed within a square outer

wall measuring 33.22 meters per side, the complex includes a single-domed tomb for the saint, a single-domed mosque, and several brick-built graves attributed to the saint's family members. According to local tradition, the saint's residence, now lost, was located to the north of the complex. The mosque architecture dates back to late-sixteenth century. The mosque was repaired in 2002 and declared as a protected monument in 2011 by the Department of Archeology.
