Peer Nigaha Darbar — Attraction in Himachal Pradesh

Syed Ahmad Sultan, popularly known as Sakhi Sarwar, (1120 – 1181) was a 12th-century Sufi saint of the Punjab region. He is also known by various other appellations such as Sultan (king), Lakhdata (bestower of millions), Lalanvala (master of rubies), Nigahia Pir (the saint of Nigaha) and Rohianvala (lord of the forests). His followers are known as Sultanias or Sarwarias. Sakhi Sarwar, the Great Sufi Saint was born in 1120 AD. His father's name was Zain-ul-Abedin and his mother's name was Ayesha.

The saint selected the town of Nigaha (Una, Himachal Pradesh, India) to settle down and live there. It is known as the ‘last place’ because of the hostile geographical and climatic condition.
