Sultan Syed Shah Mutaharuddin Suhrawardi (969–1039),[1] also called Dada Hayat Mir Qalandar or Nathar Wali or Nadir Shah, was a Muslim preacher and mystic from Anatolia who in the 9th-10th century moved to Tamil Nadu, India, where he travelled about preaching Islam.
[8] According to legend it is atop the grave of the three-headed Hindu demon Tiriasuran whom Dada killed.
His younger brother, Syed Shah Jalaluddin became the Emir of Bahanasa after he left.
Nathar Wali left his comfortable life in search of murshid(spiritual preceptor).
During this time, Tiruchirappalli was a part of the Chola Empire under the reign of Rajendra I, although Nathar Wali has never interacted with him.
