Distt Bahraich has been broadly known to the people just because of the Dargah of Hazrat Syed Salaar Masood Ghazi (r.a). He is a famous Islamic saint and soldier of eleventh century...
Dargah was built
by Firoz Shah Tughlaq and it is a place for reverence for Muslims and Hindus alike....
Saiyyad Salar Masaud, who was the son of Salar Sahu and the nephew of Mahmud of Ghazni. It is said that the dargah was built by Zohra Bibi, the blind daughter of Saiyid Jamal-ud-din of Rudauli, in Barabanki District, after she had regained her eyesight by a pilgrimage to this Mausoleum. She also built a tomb for herself here, and when she died, she was buried here. Her mother & other relatives made a pilgrimage to her grave yearly, performing a ceremony like that of marriage. The pilgrimage gradually gained importance & the tomb became a sacred place over a period of time. In the year 1374 AD, Emperor Firoz Shah visited Bahraich, and is said to have built the compound wall and other buildings at this place. There was then a saint called Mir Mah residing here on whom the emperor bestowed favours. He also gave a jagir for maintenance of the shrine. The tomb of Mir Mah stands close by and is considered a sacred place. According to another account the tomb was built by Malik Nasir-ud-din Muhammad, the eldest son of Sultan Shams-ud-din Altamash. A large fair is held at Dargah in early May & June and is attended by lakhs of people from far places. They offer a variety of offerings at this shrine. A very picturesque feature of the fair is, the flags brought by the pilgrims. It is said that if the pilgrim's desire has not been fulfilled, he takes away the flag but if the request has been granted the flag is left at the shrine. The administration of the Dargah is maintained by a Committee which also manages the annual fair & other functions held here. A hospital, Musafirkhana (Guest house) & many premier educational Institutions are also managed by Dargah Sharif Managing Committee. Presently the Managing Committee of dargah shareef is maintaining administration under the PRESIDENTSHIP of Syed Shamshad Ahmad Advocate and many historic and constructive decisions has been taken by him which is widely create attraction to the devotees....
