Exploring the History and Culture of Swargadeo Pramatta Singha Maidam

Swargadeo Pramatta Singha died in 1751 CE. An interesting story circulates around the death of Swargadeo Pramatta Singha. The king used to complain about severe headache from time to time. It was said that he had a vision in his dream that if he offers prayers in the holy shrine of Islam, his headache would get cure. Therefore, one Muslim cleric was selected and arrangements were made for his journey to Mecca. The cleric was instructed to offer prayers for the king's well-being and good health. As instructed, the cleric went to Mecca and prayed for the king's good health and long life. He returned to the capital Rangpur after a gap of two and a half years, but before he reached the capital, the king died due to illness.

This maidam is a little bit smaller than Gadadhar Singha and Rudra Singha Maidam. In 1791 this maidam was made from brick and cement but in that maidam what was found was not proven.
