The mazar named Torsha Pirdham and a mosque here are famous.[4]
A Pir used to be engaged in religious activities in the early years of the 18th century on the banks of the Torsha River near where the railway bridge now stands. He is said to have certain supernatural powers. It is said that Maharaja Harendra Narayan of the Cooch Behar State was an admirer of his but the Torsha Pir did not show any special respect for him. The Maharaja donated around 7 bighas of land for the upkeep of the place where the Torsha Pir lived. Attracted by him, many people converted to Islam. There now is a mazar at the place.[5]
