Construction of Maqbara/Tomb Death of Baba (R.A)

Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah( R.A) remained for about 41 years at Shahdara Sharief between 1765 AD to 1806 AD and meditated in solitude (Chila). He left for his heavenly abode in January 1806 A.D i.e. 1226 Hijri(Inna Lilla Hay Wa Inna Ale Hay Raajeoon). In this way Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah, stayed for 5 years at BandiChechyan, some months at Bandyan, 5 years at Lasana and Sanai, 7 years 9 months at ShahiSattar and Kalaban, 2years at PatodiDaraba and 41years at Shahdara Sharief totalling 73 years of age and it is believed that Baba Sahib (R.A) was in his prime youth about 32 years when he reached at Shahdara Sharief. It is said that Baba Sahib (R.A) got constructed the Tomb Maqbra during his life time from a craftsman of Multan. It is also said that Baba Sahib (R.A) came in the dream of Multani craftsman and directed him to reach Shahdara Sharief. He first went to Lahore Shahdara now in Pakistan. He was however, again advised to reach Shahdara Sharief in Rajouri, Kashmir. Ultimately craftsman reached the Darbar of Baba Sahib (R.A) and constructed the Maqbra which was completed in 1804 A.D i.e. 1224 Hijri

                                                       legendry evergreen tree (sada phal)

It is said that once Baba sahib was sitting close to the "Much" (burning fire) and a piece of wood was not catching fire i.e. (It did not burn at all ) Baba sahib became angry and threw that piece of wood saying if you cannot burn keep on fruiting (Baldi Nahin Te phaldi Ro) and ultimately this piece of wood grew in to an evergreen fruit plant which bears fruits and leaves throughout the year and is not affected at all by a change in season.
