Jasimuddin, author of Nakshi Kanthar Math, grew up in Ambikapur village just outside Faridpur town. His family's simple tin-roofed homestead has been preserved, and a museum nearby displays his books, letters and photographs. The poet asked to be buried near the old pomegranate tree in the family graveyard, and his wish was kept. Walking down to the Kumar river helps you see the scenery he wrote about.
