Editor's Notes
- At the Southern side of the mosque, “Majlis Awlia Khan”, the mosque was named after his name. There is a majar just near the mosque. The mazar was formed using the name of “Mastan Darbesh Nazimuddin Dewan” and “Fakir Salimuddin Dewan”. There was a large Dighi(water tank) was created just near the mosque. The water tank was made to ease the water problem of the peasant. Thats why people used to call the mosque as “Dighir par jame moshjid”.
