Shrine of
Syed Shah Jalal Ud Din with one of the trees
In
the village of Khuldabad, near Aurangabad, known as the Valley
of the Sufi Saints, a visit to the shrine of Syed Shah
Jalal Ud Din, also known by his epithet Ganj Rawan Ganj
Baksh (which means flowing treasure) is a must. There are many
interesting facts which are locally known about this Saint and
his powers. This shrine overlooks the Pariyon Ka Talab,
the waters of which also have healing properties, and the ill
can bathe in the same.
The saint was to have been told by his preceptor to set up base
where his staff sprung shoots. It did so at this very site at
Khuldabad. A stone marks the site where he first gave an aazan
(Call to prayer).

Near
the shrine are two trees, one is said to have grown from the
Saint’s staff. It is located behind the shrine. The other,
in front of the shrine, is an offshoot of the original tree.

the place where Aazan was first given by Syed Shah Jalal Ud
Din
Infertility is cured if a woman who is unable to conceive eats
the fruits of this tree. Eating the fruits of one tree is said
to ensure a female child and the other a male child.
In the days gone by, a hijra (transgendered man) is said to
have mocked the powers of Syed Shah Jalal Ud Din. This hijra
conceived and but died at childbirth. The hijra’s grave
and that of the still born baby are found here.

shrine
An upturned stone (yoni) is also found embedded in the complex.
It seems to be the Saint’s powers that it overturned -
this was done at the request of the villagers as they were being
harassed. In recent times, it is said that all efforts to forcefully
remove it, even by deploying heavy machinery have proved futile.
The above stories were told to me by the khadim of the shrine.
Photography permission was given.

Tomb
of Saint Jalal al-Din or Ganj-i-ravan [flowing treasure] :
Praying at this dargah and washing in the waters
of the Fairies' Tank, women are said to be cured of infertility
and other ailments. Like pilgrims to the Dargah of Zar Zari
Zar Baksh, women pray here to conceive a child and, as a symbol
of their prayer, attach colored bits of fabric and bangles above
the door lintel or on the limbs of the great tree.
Also
in this courtyard is the tomb of a hijra (hermaphrodite or transgendered
man) who is said to have mocked the saint's ability to help
people conceive. According to the story told by the caretaker
of the shrine, the hijra became pregnant by the power of the
saint, but died in childbirth. Stones mark the grave of both
the hijra and child.

The
saint of this popular Dargah, Muntajib al-Din, known
best by his epithet Zar Zari Zar Baksh, is said to have
come to this area of the Deccan in the fourteenth century at
the request of his teacher, Nizamuddin Awliya of Delhi.
The
Zar Zari Zar Baksh Dargah [Sufi Shrine] in Khuldabad attracts
hundreds of pilgrims each year for ordinary rituals such as
seeking the blessings of praying at a holy place. But this Dargah
draws people from long distances for more specific purposes
too. Thousands of pilgrims travel to the Zar Zari Zar Baksh
Dargah for the urs or death anniversary of the saint, immediately
followed by the commemoration of the death of the Prophet Muhammad.
Several
apocryphal stories are told about Muntajib al-Din to account
for the name, Zar Zari Zar Baksh, "the giver of the essence
of gold", but historical data notes simply that he was
a practicing Sufi who often retreated to a hill cave near the
place where his tomb was eventually built.

trusted general Qamar-ud-din Khan, Asaf Jah I are located in
