The Dargah of Hazrat Baba Sahab Songari Sarkar in Fatehgarh, near Mandsaur, is one of the most revered Sufi shrines of the Malwa region. Hazrat Baba Sahab, also known as Songiri Sarkar, is celebrated as a magnificent and open-hearted Sufi saint (Wali Allah) who dedicated his entire life to the spiritual upliftment of mankind. Deeply immersed in Tariqat (Sufi order) and Tasawwuf (Islamic mysticism), Baba Sahab was known for his divine wisdom, humility, and extraordinary spiritual powers. His shrine today stands as a symbol of peace, purity, and human unity. Hazrat Baba Sahab lived a life of solitude and devotion, residing in the quiet area of Songiri (Fatehgarh), where he engaged in continuous zikr (remembrance of Allah) and meditation. People from Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh visit the shrine daily to seek blessings, healing, and spiritual guidance. The saint is widely known as a "Saint of Manifestation and Miracles" (Wali-e-Karamat), with countless stories of pilgrims being relieved from pain, illness, and possession by evil spirits. Baba Sahab’s teachings emphasize Marfat (spiritual knowledge), Riyazat (spiritual discipline), and Shariat (adherence to Quranic law) — guiding his followers to balance devotion with righteous conduct. His compassionate nature, selflessness, and deep emotional connection (Sauj-o-Gudaz) with the Divine made him one of the most beloved saints in the history of Malwa Sufism. The Dargah remains a living centre of communal harmony, where people from all religions, castes, and backgrounds come together without discrimination. The atmosphere during the annual Urs Sharif is charged with devotion — filled with qawwali, prayers, and the fragrance of incense — reminiscent of Ajmer Sharif and other great Sufi khanqahs of India.
