of Shaikh Sharafuddeen Bu Ali Qalandar Panipati (1209-1324), a Sufi
saint of the Chishti order. His real name was Shaikh Sharfuddin but he
is more famously known as Bu Ali Shah. He completed his studies at an
early age and subsequently taught near the Qutub Minar in Delhi for 20 years. There
are various legends around how the Sufi saint achieved sainthood and today thousands
of people from various walks of life offer prayers at the dargah.

Within silence lies the answer to chaos
and that moment can only be revealed when the
soul is ready to hear the sound of the divine. The
coexistence of chaos and profound peace makes
the dargah a refuge for those seeking solace.
People from all walks of life invest deep faith in
the dargah, which forms a significant part of the
culture and history of Panipat. The success of the
city owes much to this divine connection.

tomb continues to stand in the heart of the city as witness to the
growth and development of Panipat from a historical city into an
