Bheramara
Bheramara holds the shrine of Hazrat Solaiman Shah Chishti and the three-domed mosque known as the Gayebi Mosque. No definitive history of the name survives; legend has it that sheep were once reared here in great numbers, and that in British times over a hundred sheep were run over and killed together by a train near Bheramara station — the area was then named after the sheep (bhera) to keep that tradition alive.

The river's name is Hisna. At one time it was directly connected with the Padma. In truth the Padma is its mother. When a river stretches out its child's wanderings, both banks of its course then take on a tempestuous form. The immense erosion of some part of its course swells its body; then, cleaving through that swollen part, it extends its branches and offshoots. The Hisna, too, was at one time a direct branch river of the Padma. Though now there is no way of telling from looking at it that it was ever a river. Thousands of sails have flown over its breast as well.
