About
Lalon also known as Lalon Sain, Lalon Shah, Lalon Fakir or Mahatma Lalon was a prominent Bengali philosopher, Baul saint, mystic, songwriter, social reformer and thinker from the Indian subcontinent. Regarded as an icon of Bengali culture, he inspired and influenced many poets, social and religious thinkers including Rabindranath Tagore, Kazi Nazrul Islam, and Allen Ginsberg although he "rejected all distinctions of caste and creed". Widely celebrated as an epitome of religious tolerance, he was also accused of heresy during his lifetime and after his death. In his songs, Lalon envisioned a society where all religions and beliefs would stay in harmony. He founded the institute known as Lalon Akhrah in Cheuriya, about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Kushtia railway station. His disciples dwell mostly in Bangladesh and West Bengal. Every year on the occasion of his death anniversary, thousands of his disciples and followers assemble at Lalon Akhrah.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lalon is not just name of a folk song genre, Lalon also is a name of a life style, a believe on simplicity. Followers gather here and pay gratitude to Lalon Sai. They practice his view and his songs in groups. People across the country comes here to enjoy the songs of this belief. There are tombs of lalon sai and many of his renown followers. Just do not come here, roam around and leave; rather try to talk to some followers, enjoy the performances. Only then your visit will be a worth one. And do not forget to have famous kulfi and tiler khaja of Kushtia, available near by shops or mobile vendors.

It's totally inverse to Shilaidah. You have access to this place without any cost as well as anytime a day. You might find some people signing Lalon Song & to hear it.
