 Sufism:Dargahs and Mukams of Bam:
 Bam has the share of its Dargahs and Sufis. In the early part of last century one Rakhal Nath of Barjatrapur left his home and kith and kin and came to Charkisaha Mukam of Syedpur near Sonabarighat and followed Sufi way of spiritual pursuit and subsequently moved to Rajghat of Bam,made his Bhaitak at the residence of Suruj Ali and continued his Sufi way of spiritual pursuit and came to be known as Agunkhara Baba as he would eat red hot burning char coal as has been narrated t by  a first-hand witness. He died in 1929 and was buried in Islamic tradition. His mazar known as Agunkharar Mukam is situated at Rajghat ,37 km from Silchar on Silchar Aizawl NH 54 and people still visit the Mukam which is now managed by a regional Committee of social  workers of Bam.

  Another Sufi land mark of Bam is Panisagar Mukam in Loknathpur Village three KM from Dholaibazar in the Dolai –Loknathpur-Lailapur PWD Road. Legend has it that Pir Sahib of Panisagar Mukam used to be seen riding a tiger. The Panisagar Mukam is still active.
   Aam Aami Mukkam on the western bank of Rukni river at Bhagabazar was in existence since beginning of the present settlement of Bam though it is not connected with any known Sufi or Darbesh. Its situation at a high hill top and Rukni flowing bracing the rocky and stiff foothill of the Mukam as like Mukam of Longar Shah of Fulertol, gives it an aura of mystery and spiritual fervency.
