Sonargaon to the north and Mograpara to the south are located adjacent to the Dhaka-Chittagong highway passing through Narayanganj district. Tomb of Sultan Gias Uddin Azam Shah is located in Sachilpur village, 4 kilometers away along the main road of Mograpara.
The black stone mausoleum is 3 meters long, 1.50 meters wide and 90 cm high. The lowest step of the 3-step grave is a plain stone platform, the middle part is made in the form of a craft box and the upper step is built like a boat hull. The middle steps are encased in a row of arches and each arch has a folded arch. Lotus-pendants add to the ornamentation at the ends of shackles hanging from the apex of each arch. Apart from this, the cornice of the main mausoleum features fine craftsmanship, three fluted arches on both sides, elongated chains and hanging bell designs. Which is one of the rare architectural monuments found in our country.
According to history, Ghiyasuddin Azam Shah rebelled against his father and gained the throne in 1389. During his reign, education, literature, fine arts and science achieved the highest development in the region. He was a just judge and a prudent ruler. As a result, he began to practice abroad and he had an infinite friendship with the famous Persian poet Hafiz. After a reign of about 22 years, he was killed by an assassin in 1410 AD. With the death of Sultan Ghiyas ud-Din Azam Shah, the glorious chapter of the Ilyas Shahi dynasty came to an end.
