At some time in the past, at this notable sightseeing place, Sufi dervish Hazrat Malek-ul-Gaus (R) set up his abode (astana) and began preaching Islam.
Enraged at his popularity, King Gaur-Gobinda kept trying to drive him away. In the meantime the king's daughter Amrabuchi herself accepted the Islamic faith. Thereupon the king grew even angrier and sent his vast army to kill him for good. The army failed to kill the dervish who possessed miraculous powers; on top of that the king's army perished, and the king's royal palace sank beneath the earth.
Its ruins still stand as a witness of time as a sightseeing site at Kalupol village of this union. A few days later the dervish Malek-ul-Gaus (R) departed this world.
