Maghar is a town and a nagar panchayat in Sant Kabir Nagar district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
Kabir, the 15th-century mystic poet, disappeared and fragrant flowers were found in the place of his body. The flowers were divided between his Hindu and Muslim disciples. The Hindus and the Muslims built two memorials here that are 100 metres apart and kept their share of flowers in them.
