Hazrath Shahul Hameed, popularly known as Nagore Nayagam, was born on 10th November 1504 that is 3rd Jamadiyul Aakhir 910 Hijri in a town called Manikapur located 96 Kilometers away from Allahabad in UP, North India. He was born to Janab Hasan Quddos and Bibi Fatima. He began learning Arabic at the age of 8 and demonstrated exceptional in Arabic language. He went to Gwalior to gain spiritual education, from Hazrat Syed Mohammad Ghouz Sahib, where he studied for 7 years. On gaining successful spiritual education, he departed with 440 fellow students and travelled to Makkah. During his journey, Nagore Nayagam prayed fervently for those in need. While traveling towards Makkah, he stopped in Lahore and met Hazrat Nooruddin Sahib, a wealthy man who expressed his concerns about his lack of a son. Nagore Nayagam prayed to Allah for him, and as a result, Hazrat Nooruddin Sahib was blessed with a son, Muhammad Yusuf Sahib. Later, Nagore Nayagam, along with his fellow students, traveled to Sri Lanka, Kayalpattinam, Keezakarai, and Tenkasi, continuing his spiritual mission. Eventually, he arrived in Thanjavur, where he became renowned for his spiritual abilities. During his time in Thanjavur, King Achuthappa Nayak was suffering from an incurable disease. The king's ministers sought the help of Nagore Nayagam, who prayed for the king's recovery. The king's illness was miraculously cured, and, through his prayers, the king was also blessed with a son. Grateful for his assistance, the king granted him 30 acres of coastal land, which became persent day Nagore. Nagore Nayagam later observed two significant 40-day fasts. The first was at Vanjoor, 2 kilometers from Nagore, where he sat in a pit covered with wooden planks. The second fast was at the Chilladi mosque on the coast of Nagore. These places are now significant places of visit in this region. Nagore Nayagam passed away on 10th November 1570 that is 12th Jamadiyul Aakhir 978 Hijri at the age of 68 in Nagore, where he is attaining everlasting rest. The death anniversary is commemorated with the Kanduri Festival, celebrated annually in Nagore. This festival exemplifies religious harmony, attracting people of all faiths, including Muslims, Hindus and Christians.

Nagore Dargah (also called Nagoor Dargah or Hazrat Syed Shahul Hameed Dargah) is a dargah built over the tomb of the Sufi  saint Nagore Shahul Hamid (1490–1579 CE).It is located in Nagore, a coastal town in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Outer doors kept open always. Internal doors opening time is from 4:30 am to 07:00 am and 6:25 pm to 9:30 pm. Friday alone additionally kept open from 12 noon to 2:30 pm also. Shahul Hamid is believed to have performed many miracles in Nagore, and cured the physical affliction of king Achutappa Nayak, a 16th-century Hindu ruler of Thanjavur. He is locally referred to as Nagore Andavar, meaning the "god of Nagore". Nagore dargah as it stands now, is believed to have been built by ardent devotees of Shahul Hamid, with major contribution from Hindus. There are five minarets in the dargah, with the Hindu Maratha ruler of Thanjavur Pratap Singh (1739–1763 CE), building the tallest minaret. The dargah is a major pilgrimage centre that attracts pilgrims from both Islamand Hinduism, symbolizing peaceful coexistence between the two religions. The most prominent event celebrated at Nagore dargah is the Kanduri festival, a fourteen-day commemoration of the death anniversary of Shahul Hamid. Common worship practices at Nagore dargah include the presentation of offerings, accompanied by the playing of musical instruments like nadaswaram, atypical of Hindu religious tradition. The Shifa Gunta, a pool within the precincts of the dargah, is considered sacred; pilgrims take a holy dip in it. The hereditary Khalifa (Sufi saint),selected from among the descendants of saint Yusuf, performs all the official and religious duties of the dargah. The administration and maintenance of the dargah is governed by a committee which operates under a scheme decreed by the Madras High Court. Source : wikipedia
