After the old railway bridge we went to the tomb of Keramat Kuala Bidor, a saintly figure of old who is said to have miraculous powers.
Actually there's two big tomb buildings here and I visited this one first.
While this particular tomb is generally not known belonging to whom it is my belief that it also belongs to the person known as Keramat Kuala Bidor.
The tomb officially designated as that of Keramat Kuala Bidor is this one. So how could I even consider the other as belonging to the same personage? Let's just say it belongs to one person who has assumed 2 different identities in 2 different period. Do have a look at the article Makam (Tomb of ) Keramat Kuala Bidor in the blogspot SENI LAMA MELAYU (MALAY OLDEN ART).
Anyway there are actually 3 tombs within this enclosed area...
Perhaps the other 2 is that of a wife and an offspring?
Anyway let's recite the Quran's opening verses, the Al-Fatihah for his spirit. May you rest in peace always o dear great great great grandfather. To know more read the stories translated from my first book "Berpetualang ke Aceh : Mencari diri dan erti" (published June 2006) at the following links. For the record this is the 595th article in this blogspot.The tale of Keramat Kuala Bidor
