Sharburuj

Sharburuj or NaodaBuruj is located at Rahanpur in Gomstapurupazila, bordering Chapainawabganj district. Locally it is also known as the Sharburuj. During the reign of Raja LakshmanSen, Rahanpur gained popularity as a trading city. For commercial reasons he built a picturesque building in Rahanpur, of which the mosque is the chief. The real name of this dilapidated building is Shahburuj. The word shah means king and the word buruj means building or balakhana. Which later became popularly known as the Sharburuj. The Bengali conqueror Ikhtiyar Uddin Muhammad bin BakhtiyarKhalji arrived in Bengal on this route and stayed there for some time. The Nadia region, known for its history, is located next to the area of these installations. Which later came to be known as Naoda. Frightened by the news of the arrival of BakhtiyarKhalji, Raja LakshmanSen fled from this place by river. Since then it is also known as NaodaBuruj. Today, on the verge of extinction, this traditional monument can be transformed into a full-fledged entertainment village with government or private patronage. This traditional monument is located at Rahanpur, a trading center, 26 miles west of the district town of ChapaiNawabganj. To reach Rahanpur you have to take the Chapai-Gomstapur Highway. The Chapai-Gomstapur Highway is the road that goes west from the fire service junction of ChapaiNawabganj district town along the banks of the river Mahananda.
