Photographer's Note

This is the Adil Shahi Gate to the tomb. The saint, who died in 1422 CE, was a Sufi mystic from the Chishti sect. He fled from North India and was given shelter, initially within the fort from 1401 CE, at the court of Firoz Shah Bahmani (r. 1397 - 1422 CE), a pious and enlightened ruler. The simple and small tomb stands in the middle of a large sprawling complex of tombs, mosques and madrasas that comprise a major pilgrimage centre, some 2 kilometres east of the fort. Geo coordinates for a search in Google Earth are 17.20.38.20 N and 76.51.03.25 E. Elevation is 475 metres.
