Dhamnagar Mazar, located in the Bhadrak district of Odisha, is one of the most revered spiritual destinations in Eastern India. It is the Dargah of Huzoor Mujahid-e-Millat, a prominent Sufi saint and scholar. Approximately 330 km from Kolkata, the Mazar attracts thousands of pilgrims throughout the year, especially during the annual Urs, seeking spiritual solace and blessings. The journey from Kolkata via NH16 is a popular pilgrimage route for groups and families.




The route from Kolkata to Dhamnagar Mazar is a standard run on the high-speed NH16. The journey starts with the Vidyasagar Setu or Kona Expressway, leading onto the Mumbai Road until Kharagpur. From Kharagpur, the route turns south towards Odisha. Crossing the West Bengal-Odisha border at Jaleswar is a major milestone where interstate permits are checked. The highway is largely 4-6 lanes and well-maintained, passing through the rice-growing heartlands and coconut groves of both states. After reaching Bhadrak, a smaller but well-paved state road leads you to the town of Dhamnagar. The entire stretch is well-supported by dhabas, petrol pumps, and emergency services. Our drivers are trained to handle the interstate transition smoothly, ensuring all permits are pre-arranged so your group doesn't have to wait at the border. The transition from the urban sprawl of Kolkata to the serene plains of Odisha is one of the highlights of this road trip, offering a peaceful start to your spiritual journey.
