127th Tirodhan Dibas of Baul Samrat Fakir Lalon Saiji

127th Departure Day Of Fakir Lalon Shah

He passed away on the 1st of Kartik 1297 of the Bengali era, corresponding to 17 October 1890 AD, and he lived 116 years.

By that count he was born in 1774 AD. In Cheuria, besides Fakir Lalon, lie the graves of his foster mother Motijan Fakirani, his foster father Fakir Molom Shah, Fakir Pandit Manik Shah, Shital Shah, Bholai Shah, Bishkha Fakirani and Fakir Moniruddin Shah, along with many other bhava-disciples.

Every year on the 1st of Kartik, thousands of bauls from home and abroad gather here to observe the anniversary of his death.

If all goes well, on 16 October 2017 AD - the 1st of Kartik 1424 of the Bengali era - his Tirodhan Dibas will be observed at Fakir Lalon Saiji's akhra bari. His devotees will come rushing from every country of the world.

The three-day programme and the week-long Lalon mela (fair) will run. His sayings will be recited through the night. The guests will listen with rapt attention. Unless one sees with one's own eyes such a different atmosphere, it cannot be grasped! On behalf of KushtiaShohor.com, everyone is invited.
