Akhi Siraj Aainae Hind
Shaykh Khwaja Sirajuddin or Akhi Siraj Aainae Hind , was a 14th-century Bengali Sufi saint of the Chishti mystic tradition, disciple of Nizamuddin Auliya. His shrine in Gaur, West Bengal, India, attracts hundreds of thousands of devotees every year.[1]
Akhi Siraj earned the title of Āainae-Hind, translating to "Mirror of India", from Nizāmuddīn Auliyā(1238 – 3 April 1325), a legendary Sufi saint of the Chishti Order in the Indian Subcontinent. As one of the first disciples of Nizāmuddīn Auliyā, he spent long years with him.
His successor Alaul Haq Pandavi is credited with the rise to prominence of the Chishti order in Bengal.
