exists either a dargah or a tomp. A tradition connects him with the
spread of islam in Chittagong and the people refer to him by different
names, such as Badar Alam, Badar Mokam, Badar pir and Badar Aulia.- See more at: http://www.bdtradeinfo.com/travel-tourism/ta_chittagong.php#sthash.XebNX1MK.dpuf
