KHWAJA BANDA NAWAZ DARGAH SHARIF - THE HEART OF SUFI CULTURE AND TRADITION

Author : Ashraful Faruki

"Khwaja Banda Nawaz Dargah Sharif: Culture and Practice" is a seminal research book in the academic field of Dargah Culture in India. During the initial research on the dargah culture of Gulbarga, with a special focus on the Dargah of Hazrat Khwaja Banda Nawaz, several key points and information could not be included due to time constraints and the need for early submission of the final draft.

To address this, the researcher decided to compile an additional book incorporating further information about the Dargah of Hazrat Khwaja Banda Nawaz, drawing from ongoing research. This book primarily explores the Dargah of Hazrat Khwaja Banda Nawaz, while also briefly examining other notable Indian dargahs in the first chapter, alongside the life and teachings of Hazrat Khwaja Banda Nawaz Gesudaraz (May Allah bless his soul).
