Hazrat Syed Gore Mastan Vali Dargah is a Sufi shrine associated with Hazrat Mastan Vali, a 19th-century Indian Sufi saint and ascetic associated with the Qalandariyya and Suhrawardiyya traditions. According to historical records, Mastan Vali spent much of his life in the Kothacheruvu region of present-day Andhra Pradesh and was revered for his extreme renunciation and spiritual absorption (jazb). He died on 18 October 1905 (18 Sha'ban 1323 AH). His principal Dargah is located at Kothacheruvu on Bukkapatnam Road, where his body was interred. The Mastan Dargah Centre in Ongole, located on Trunk Road near the Old Vegetable Market, Marati Palem, represents the saint's devotional legacy in Ongole. The annual Urs associated with Hazrat Mastan Vali is observed on 18 Sha'ban. Historical accounts also describe his legacy as an example of religious and cultural syncretism in the Deccan.
