Allar Darga — at the very mention of the name a different kind of feeling stirs in the mind: surely there is some shrine or darga at Allar Darga. But in reality Allar Darga has no such shrine or darga worth the name. Yet the naming of Allar Darga has a history of astonishing events. In tracing the history of Allar Darga's naming, it is heard by word of mouth that some two and a half hundred years ago, during British rule, a family from Murshidabad in India lived with a few taluk of land in the village of Mirpur in Pierpur Union of Daulatpur Upazila of Kushtia District. The head of that family was Chhuti Mandal, and he had five children: Milan, Alam, Chand, Subad and Fatab Mandal.
