Darbar Baba Nu Lakh Hazari is a Sufi shrine situated in the city of Shahkot in the Nankana Sahib District, in Punjab,Pakistan.[1][2]
The shrine was built in the 12th century to honor Abu Alkhair Syed Murad Ali Shah Bukhari also known as Noulakha (حضرت سید مراد علی شاہ صاحب المعروف داتا نولکھ ہزاری رحمۃ اللہ علیہ), who came to the Shahkot area in the 12th century to spread Islam in the subcontinent of India. "Nau lakh"(ਬਣੋ ਲੱਖ ) is the Punjabi phrase for "nine hundred thousands". Noulakha received this name as it is believed by the people in the area that during his lifetime, he recited the Quran nine hundred thousand times.[3]
There is a mountain near the shrine.[4] Every year on 23 March, there is a gathering to celebrate the Urs (death anniversary) of Baba Nu Lakh Hazari. Barjees Tahir, member of National Assembly of Pakistan and some other area luminaries are expected to participate in the Urs festivities.[5]
