The historic site of Bagerhat in Bangladesh exhibits an unique architectural style, known as Khan-e-Jahan , and scholars put its time period to 15th Century A.D.;  this Unesco property again is considered as the only known example in the history of architecture. The Historic Mosque City of Bagerhat stands in the northern peripheral land of the Sundarbans.

The heritage site which contains chillakhana (ancient graveyard) along with other historic elements was formerly known as Khalifatabad, and it sprawls over on the southern bank of the old river Bhairab.

Bagerhat finds its origin in ‘bag’  or ‘bagha’ means ‘tiger’ ; ‘bag’ is attributed with different meanings like, ‘a garden’ and marks ‘overall personal line of a person’; it is also a ‘title’. With so many attributes this historic site redefines its link with ‘Vyaghra-patha’ or the ‘Tiger’s Path’ that identifies the seat of Jinn or Zion; it is again the same as Jahan or the biblical John. Jinn or Zion means ‘ a Great Teacher of Profound Wisdom’;

Name Bhairab identifies a goddess in this name, goddess Vairabi and goddess Bagalamukhi of Baghei country are geographically connected. Bhairaba’s origin is in ‘Barahi’ or ‘Varahi’ whose historicity finds the meaning of this name through Greek and Egyptian mythologies.

Different name-forms of ‘khan’ makes different meanings, examples are ‘kanha’,  ‘kanhei’ or ‘kanha’ or ‘kinhi’; ‘khan’ and ‘khana’ or ‘khanna’ were derived from ‘kanth’, a sacred place of human civilization. This becomes clear when name Sundarbana identifies for itself a geographical plain in the same neighbourhood of the Vyaghra-path or the Tiger’s path. Sundara identifies a group of wise and liberated people all of whom were identified with one name ‘Sundara’. Chilla-khana whose meaning marks an ancient ‘graveyard’ also identifies the nesting-place of certain birds called ‘chillas’ or the ‘sagunas’; they are associated with ‘death’ and they prey on the ‘dead-bodies’.
