Our Sacred Lineage and Spiritual Heritage
We are the esteemed Gaddi Nashin (hereditary spiritual torchbearers) of the Holy Shrine of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (H.A.), affectionately known as Khwaja Gharib Nawaz, the Sultan of Hind. Our profound connection to this sacred site stems from a direct lineage tracing back to Hazrat Khwaja Syed Fakhruddin Gurdezi Chishti (H.A.), the revered Khadim-e-Khas (chief attendant) and first cousin of Gharib Nawaz (H.A.).

The mantle of responsibility has been passed down through the centuries, ensuring the continuity of spiritual service and the preservation of the sacred traditions associated with the Dargah Sharif.
