13th–14th century · Delhi · Sufism (Chishtī order)
Hazrat Nizāmuddīn Auliyā, born at Badāyūn, was a disciple of Bābā Farīd and one of the most loved Sufi saints of Delhi. He taught love, tolerance and compassion, kept an open kitchen for all, and kept his distance from the royal court. The poet and musician Amīr Khusrau was his devoted disciple, and qawwālī still rings out at his dargāh in Delhi, visited by people of all faiths.
