History of productionNagore Dargah is the replicated graveyard of Sufi , an important saint in Tamil state, southern India. It was built in 1828 by a group of muslims from the southern India.
ArtNagore Dargah is a replicated graveyard, not a Masjid, therefore; the plan is a graveyard not the prayroom. At the corners, there are multi-tiered towers. These towers are the replicas of Nagore Dargah in Tamilnatu state in the southern India. Later, these towers have become the models for many towers in Malaysia and Singapore.
