Sultan Hazrat Syedna Khwaja Baba Fakhruddin Suhrawardi (Rahmatullah Alaih) is a great sufi saint of 12 th century. His mausoleum is located in Penukonda, Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, India.
Before coming to Penukonda, He was a king of Sistan, a province of Iran, who renounced world for the sake of Allah, in the pursuit of the Almighty he found his Murshid (Spiritual guide) Hazrath Tabr-e-Aalam Baadshah Nathar Vali (Rehmatullah Alaih), who himself was a king who had too renounced the world for the Almighty’s cause, in a place called Tiruchirapalli (Tamilnadu). After serving His Master for 24 years on Master’s command he left to Penukonda for spreading the truth.

The miswak twigs planted 800 years ago is still green today in Penukonda dargah.
