The story

Urs Shah Paran in Sylhet

Outside Sylhet, the Khadim Nagar shrine of Shah Paran, nephew and disciple of Shah Jalal, holds its own Urs over three days fixed to the Islamic month of Rabi-ul-Awal, distinct from his uncle's shrine and calendar in the city center. The gathering is smaller and more local than the citywide Shah Jalal Urs.

A few kilometres outside Sylhet, at a place called Khadim Nagar, a smaller shrine holds the grave of Shah Jalal's own nephew, and its Urs runs on a separate date fixed to the Islamic month of Rabi-ul-Awal rather than his uncle's calendar.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Shah Paran's Urs runs on a fixed three-day window, the 4th through 6th of Rabi-ul-Awal, giving it a specific, distinct position in the Islamic calendar rather than sharing a date with his more prominent uncle's shrine in central Sylhet

02

The mystery stays covered

The site itself, a khanqah he founded at Khadim Nagar after the 1303 conquest of Sylhet, ties the observance to a documented second-generation figure in the same Sufi missionary lineage rather than a later, unrelated saint
