Muin al-Din Chishti

Mu'in al-Din Hasan Sijzi (d. 1236 CE) settled at Ajmer in Rajasthan and is held by the Chishti order to be its founder in India. His shrine became the most visited Muslim sanctuary in the subcontinent, though the early record of his life is thinner than his fame suggests.

Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki (c. 1173-1235) was a Chishti Sufi from Farghana who settled in Delhi under Sultan Iltutmish after training under Mu'in al-Din Chishti. His grave at Mehrauli gave the nearby Qutb Minar its name, and his successor Baba Farid carried the Chishti order into the Punjab.
