Located on Mysore Road in Bengaluru is a 200-year-old Dargah of Sufi saint Hazrat Sadiq Ali Shah Hussaini, who is also known as Hazrat Biha Peer Baba.
The dargah comprises the holy tomb of Hazrat Biha Peer Baba. Beside the dargah, one can see two flag posts where devotees (Hindus and Muslims alike) pray and offer flowers to a small dais with green and saffron flags. The flag post is considered miraculous as it is believed that in 2009, ‘holy water’ had dripped out from one of the flags here for one whole day.
Legends and miracles apart, the Dargah Shareef of Aulia Hazrat Sadiq Ali Shah has spiritual and social significance. Aulia Hazrat Sadiq Ali Shah, a known saint, who came from a distant land and lived for decades on the banks of River Vrishabhavathi in Bengaluru, is known to have long been revered by devotees of all castes and communities. He is also known for his social welfare activities, particularly extending support to the economically underprivileged. Beside the dargah is a big mosque maintained by a trust.
