Baba Fakhruddin was a disciple and successor of Pir Nathar Tabl e Aalam Badshah Natahar Vali of Tiruchirappalli.

He was a great king loved by his subjects until he decided to abdicate the throne and renounced worldly pleasures to seek the path of Sufism.

His nephew Yusuf Qattal Hussaini became his Khalifa - spiritual successor and the custodianship of the shrine continued in his family to date.
