Some details about Hazrat Khaja Banda Nawaz Gesu Daraz Gulberga
Writes Rana Safvi in her book In Search of the Divine. “Ahmad, brother of the Bahmani Sultan Tajuddin Firoz, became his disciple and built a khanqah for him. Ahmad continued to be devoted to the saint, and after he passed away built a massive dome on his dargah. It is said to be the largest ever dome to shelter a shrine. The dargah complex itself is massive, dominated as it is by the white-domed structure, yet it is also beautiful and serene,” she adds.
Sibghat Khan from The Deccan Archive tells us another interesting thing about the saint: When Aurangzeb walked into the dargah of Banda Nawaz he cried out: “Neest Kaaba Dar Dakkhan, Juz Dargah-e-Gesu Daraz, Badshah e Deeno Duniya, Ta Abad Bandanawaz”, which means, “There’s no Kaaba in the Deccan but the dargah of Bandanawaz, The Badshah of Religion and the World till eternity is Banda Nawaz”
