Later, Firoz Shah Tughlaq, the Turkic Sultan of Delhi who had a great admiration for Hazrat Syed Salar Masood Ghazi (RA) built his tomb.

Ghazi Miyan is also known as Bale Miyan, Bala Pir, Pir Bahlim and Gajan Dulha although his real name is Syed Salar Masud. In Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh, his dargah has been an attraction for Hindu and Muslim devotees for nearly 1,000 years and a big fair is organised every year here. Ghazipur, Ghaziabad and Salarkotla that dot many regions of the country are perpetuating his memory.

In 1250, the Delhi Sultan Nasir ud din Mahmud constructed an architectural complex around the tomb, during his stay in Bahraich.

The 13th century poet Amir Khusro appears to mention Masud’s tomb (dargah) in a 1290 CE letter. According to this letter, the “fragrant tomb of martyred commander” at Bahraich spread the “perfume of odorous wood” throughout Hindustan.
In 1341, the Delhi Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq and the Moroccon traveler Ibn Battuta visited the Bahraich dargah.

Ibn Battuta narrates the legends of the saints, and also provides some information about his cult, including the ritual veneration of his banner and spear.

Tarikh-i-Firuz Shahi (1357), written nearly three hundred years later. Hazrat Barani r.a mentions Masud as one of the heroes of Mahmud’s campaigns in India.The text was composed during the reign of the Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah Tughlaq, who considered himself to be a spiritual disciple of Masud. In 1353, the ruler of Lakhnauti (Bengal) invaded Bahraich, purportedly because he believed that a visit to Masud’s dargah could cure him of vitiligo. In response, Firuz Shah Tughluq invaded Bengal.He also visited the Bahraich dargah in 1372. According to the Sultan’s court historian Shams-i Siraj ‘Afif, Masud appeared in the Sultan’s dream, and asked him to prepare for the day of the Last Judgment, and to propagate Islam by adopting a tougher policy against the non-Muslims. The next day, Sultan Firuz Shah Tughluq got his head shaved like a Sufi neophyte, and started spending his nights in prayers. In 16th century, the Indo-Afghan soldier Dattu Sarvani claimed to have seen Masud in his dream.
he text states, “Salar Masud… was connected by blood with Mahmud Ghazni… sold his life bravely in battle and left an imperishable name.” According to Abul Fazl, the cult of Masud was very popular: his dargah attracted pilgrims from remote districts. These pilgrims carried offerings and multi-coloured flags to the dargah, and encamped at the Mughal capital Agra on their way to Bahraich. Abul Fazl further states that in 1561 CE, the Mughal emperor Akbar himself walked among these pilgrims, disguised as an ordinary merchant visiting the urs celebrations at the dargah.[9] In 1571 CE, Akbar made a grant for the Bahraich shrine.
The 17th century Persian language text Mirat-i-Masudi, written by the Sufi scholar Abdur Rahman Chishti, is the most comprehensive biography of Masud.The text is a historical romance, and the biography has a “gossipy feel” The author claims that Masud appeared in his dreams, and describes Masud’s various achievements and miracles. He states that his work is based on an “Old History” written by one Mulla Mahmud Ghazanavi.
In 1765, Akbar’s grant was renewed by Shuja-ud-Daula, the Nawab of Awadh. His successor Asaf-ud-Daula visited the Bahraich shrine several times.
Gradually, Masud came to be known as a warrior-saint among the Muslims, who revered him as “Ghazi Miyan”. Over time, the pilgrimage to his dargah increased so much that the site was not able to accommodate all the pilgrims. Consequently, his shrines were erected in other towns of the Awadh region, including Salargarh (named in his honour), Faizabad, Satrikh and Rudauli. The mazar of his father Salar Sahu (called “Birdha Baba” by Hindus) in Satrikh also became a pilgrimage site.
