It is said that the Sufi saint Hazrat Badr Auliya (RA) came to Chittagong by climbing a rock floating in the sea from Arabia to preach Islam. When Hazrat Badr Auliya (R.A.) ascended a mountain in Chittagong full of uninhabited hills with a miraculous lamp, the jinns stopped him. But the jinn fairies asked him to leave this place. Hazrat Badr Auliya (RA) left the mountain in exchange for the jinn fairies to keep his lamp only. After that, the jinns could not bear the intense radiation of his miraculous lamp and left Chittagong. After that, human settlement gradually developed here and this hill came to be known as Cheragi Hill.
