Gulab was a practising Hindu, and was informed about how Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's paternal home was in Dhakadakshin (in present-day Golapganj).

The Dewan then ordered for a road and bridge to be made from Sylhet town to Dhakadakshin, to make it easier for those wanting to visit the place.

The area was also renamed Gulabganj after the Dewan, which eventually changed to Golapganj (although older records mention the name Golabganj).
