Hazrat Abdullah Shah Baba Dargah, identified locally at the plus-code 3M6Q+987, Mungeli, is a neighbourhood mazar (dargah) devoted to a saint known in the region as Abdullah Shah Baba. Public, digitized records specifically about this shrine (founding year, named patron, or archived histories) are limited or not available online; local mosques/dargahs are often preserved through oral history and caretaker records rather than formal published sources. Practically speaking, this dargah functions like many small-town Sufi shrines in central India: it is a place for ziyarat (visits), short supplications (dua), and communal remembrance, and it becomes especially active during the saint’s urs (death-anniversary) when devotees gather for qawwali, communal prayers, and charity. The structure is typically modest — a tomb/chabutra, a small covered prayer area, and space to receive visitors — and is maintained by a local committee or volunteers from the neighbourhood. Because the name “Abdullah Shah” (and related spellings) is used for several Sufi shrines across India, the local dargah in Mungeli shares a common devotional culture with better-documented Abdullah Shah shrines elsewhere, but its precise foundation details are best confirmed on the ground from the dargah caretakers or municipal/waqf records.
