Greetings all friends, I hope you are well and healthy. At the same time, in the context of the current Russia-Ukraine war in the world, no matter what country you are in, be careful and live a healthy life. I hope this calls for an end to the Russia-Ukraine war and for a lasting relationship. That is why I call on the world leaders to end this war. 🙏🙏

My travel blog is a traditional shrine of Bangladesh called Lalon Shah's shrine. Lalon was a spiritual man who practiced Baul Sadhak. He even gained fame by singing Baul songs. Surrounding his graveyard is the Lalon Shah Mazar. I traveled there at night and I have come to share this travel blog with all the friends of this community through many pictures in the context of it. I hope you like it a lot, so let's get started.

Mural of Lalon Shah's:

Lalon Shah's shrine is located in Chheuria village in Kumarkhali upazila of Kushtia district in Bangladesh. Lalon Shah was a spiritual Baul devotee. He used to perform various Baul songs, Lalon songs, songs of different jari-sari and spiritual items to the public. The shrine is believed to have originated after the death of Lalon Shah in 1890 and the arrival of many of his devotees. And this Mazar Sharif has been very richly renovated by the government of Bangladesh. And has been raised in the world court. The shrine of this Baul devotee Lalon Shah is located in Kumarkhali, a famous upazila of Kushtia district in Bangladesh. And I took a picture of myself standing in front of a beautiful mural of Lalon Shah's shrine. Although taking this picture at night was not so good. This shows the shape of Lalon Shah's.

This magnificent mural has been constructed in this Lalon Shah Mazar Sharif to give shape to Lalon Shah. This mural has been very efficiently identified here for the shape of this Lalon Shah statue. So that the visitors from outside or from abroad who come to this Lalon Shah's shrine can understand and see the mural in the shape of Lalon. You can understand that Lalansha was a very good Baul devotee. Mr. Md. Aslam Hossain, the present Deputy Commissioner of Kushtia District of Bangladesh, inaugurated the mural of Lalon Shaiji after its construction. And I personally observed the mural of Lalon Shah from there.

The gate of the main entrance of Lalon Shah's shrine:

At night I went to visit this Lalon Shah's shrine. When I entered the main shore of this shrine, there was a beautiful gate in front of me and there was a beautiful line of song written by Lalon Shaiji which was "Manush Bhajle Sonar Manush Hobi". A beautiful gate has been constructed in front of the main entrance centering on the words of this song line and this beautiful song line was written on the gate. This entrance gate was very nice.

Lalon Shah's mausoleum is his inserted graveyard:

When I was in Lalon Shah's Mazar Sharif, I took these two pictures in front of his main Mazar Sharif. As far as I know, Lalon Shah's tomb is one of the mausoleums located here. The tomb of Lalon Shaiji is located in the main house of this shrine which you can see in a very beautiful way. He is buried in this shrine. Taking pictures from inside the main shrine was prohibited by the appropriate authorities. So I took a picture of Lalon's grave from a distance in front of this main shrine. The so-called tomb of Lalon Shah has been renovated by the Bangladesh government to make it more attractive and glamorous. And a variety of glamorous items have been used here so that visitors can come and visit this Lalon Shah's shrine well and know a lot of important information from here.

I saw numerous tombs outside the tomb of Lalon Shah and I came to know through the so-called authorities that these tombs belonged to the devotees of Lalon Shaiji. They used to practice various spiritual songs and Baul songs with Lalon Shah in those days and also used to hang out with him through appropriate surroundings. In addition to the graves of the devotees of Lalon Shaiji, there are many graves here which are known as unseen, but the names of each devotee were inscribed with the body of the grave. I took pictures of these graves. Due to the wonderful environment, many people come to visit Lalon Shah's shrine. However, due to this covid-19 epidemic, the number of visitors is less now. So while visiting here during the so-called night, I saw a lot and gained knowledge about this Lalon Shah's Mazar Sharif.

Numerous lights have been arranged around the tomb and these lights stay in the water all night. So that there is a definite time here. The last time to visit this Lalon Sanji shrine is till 11 pm. I had just visited Lalon Shah's shrine just before that. So I got a lot of information about this Lalon Sanji shrine. And some of my unknown information which I did not know about Lalon Shaizi so I came to visit Lalon shah's Mazar. Numerous graves of Lalon Shaiji's devotees are located at Lalon Saiji's shrine and various devotees visit here who perform different types of Baul songs and Lalon songs and different types of songs. What I saw with my own eyes by visiting this shrine and I have tried to present to you through these pictures. Traditional Mazar-i-Sharif of Bangladesh. Lalon Shah's Mazar-i-Sharif is located in Kushtia district of Bangladesh, who was known as an excellent spiritual man, came to the world court through Baul songs.

A Lalon devotee immersed in Lalon's meditation:

The house known as the main shrine of Lalon Shah Mazar was occupied by a monk or a devotee of Lalon. He was engrossed in Lalon's meditation. I saw him there, he was meditating. Although he never spoke to anyone. I took this picture of him from a distance from the tomb of Lalon Shah which you can see. There are many Lalon devotees who come to this shrine and for Lalon's fans they spend a lot of time in this shrine by meditating.

Music is playing at Lalon's shrine:

Since Lalonshah was a Baul fan and artist. He has written numerous songs. So his devotees come to visit this shrine and perform songs through various instrumental music. When I was present at this shrine, songs of different artists of Lalon were playing on one side of this shrine. I thoroughly enjoyed this concert from standing there. And I have tried to take pictures and share them with you. However, songs written by Lalon and various Baul songs and Lalon songs are performed at Lalon's shrine. I was totally present at this song event. I really liked the songs written by Lalon when his fans performed various instrumental music.

monochord:

The only instrument that Lalon Shah himself used to sing when he was performing was a stringed instrument. With this instrument he used to play Baul songs, Lalon songs, different types of songs to the listeners. In the context of this instrument, a very beautiful image of a wire instrument has been drawn here. I took a picture of this one-of-a-kind device from a distance which you can see. Lalansha himself used to perform songs with this monochord instrument. He used to play a variety of songs among his fans in the external environment with this beautiful instrument. So that he gained world fame and became known in the court of the world.

Musical stall at Lalon Shah's shrine.🎻🎹🎺🎸

At Lalon Shah's shrine I saw many musical stalls besides the shrine. One string instrument, two string instruments sold in the stalls of musical instruments. Harmonium, flute and various musical instruments. I took pictures of some of the shops that you can see. One of Lalon's instruments in particular was the one-wire instrument. And in these stalls most of the one string instruments (monochord) instruments are sold for playing music.
