The Dargah of Shah Ata is a dargah complex, located in Bangarh, Gangarampur, in the state of West Bengal, India; sited adjacent to Dhaldighi Lake. The brick-built structure, likely constructed in the 14th century AD, is a square, roofless mausoleum enclosing the grave of Mollah Atar-Uddin, also known as Shah Ata. Its lower portion is made of stone. Originally identified as a Dargah, it is actually a mosque featuring niches. Four Arabic inscriptions adorn its walls. Remnants suggest a pre-existing Pala-period (c. 750–1161) temple at the site.[1]
