on the 15th day of Zikhaida of Muslim calendar conducted in
his name at the famous Bande Nawaz Darga in Gulbarga every year.
It
is a majestic tomb remaining in the north side of the old fort
city, and is said to have been built in 1420 for a famous Sufi
saint of this area named Bandeh Nawaz Gesu Daraz. However, it
is said that this tomb was not actually used. The four walls
are divided into two tiers, and on each wall there are arch-shaped
entrances and windows at the centre and two arch-shaped niches
with circular patterns at the upper part in right and left:
it is a grand exterior.
Small kiosk-like architecture at the four corners of the roof
surrounding dome has an interesting structure, possessing an
entrance with a stair. What is more remarkable is the squinch
seen inside and the double lines of lotus petals under the ceiling,
and small arch-shaped niches forming a small line above the
lotus petals. This unique decoration is not seen in any other
buildings. (Matsuo Ara)

word 'Dargah', in Persian, means a courtyard. As a technical
term of Sufism, it implies a courtyard surrounding the shrine
of a saint. This shrine may or may not have a dome structure
over it. The dargah of Gesudaraz has a huge dome structure over
it.

Gulbarga is broad based. People from all backgrounds have always
been welcomed and greeted with respect. Instances of the saint
holding religious discussions with the yogis and brahmans are
known, and his teachings had a tremendous impact on contemporary
religious and social life.
He taught
people to be particularly kind and affectionate towards each
other. The hundreds who visit the dargah of Gesudaraz regularly
on a daily basis and the hundreds of thousands who come during
the Urs, meet in an atmosphere of amity and harmony, that is
immaterial of the languages they speak and the rituals they
perform. Driven by faith, the visitors are comforted with a
solution, be it a peace of mind, cure for a sickness, or any
other problem. And those who seek God, find Him here.
The dargah
of Gesudaraz comprises of over 100 rooms for accomodation. These
rooms are usually booked a month prior to the Urs, since people
from all parts of India wish to attend this sacred event. These
bookings are made through letters sent by postal mail requesting
for a room and are addressed to the Sajjada Nasheen at the dargah
address.

Golden Quotes
If a Salik prays or meditates for fame, his is an atheist.
If one prays or meditates out of fear, he is a cheat and a hypocrite.
So long as a man disengages himself from all the worldly things,
he would not step into the road of conduct.
Divide the night into three periods: in the first period say
Darud and recitation; in the second sleep and in the third call
His name and meditate.
The Salik should be careful in food it should be legitimate.
The Salik should abstain from the company of the worldly people.
