Baba Sadan Shah Masjid

The Shrine of Baba Sadanshah

The shrine (mazaar) of famous Sufi saint Sadanshah is situated in Lalitpur city. Baba Sadanshah was born in a family of butchers around the year 1600 AD. A mention of the Baba is made as 'Sadan Kasai' in the "Bhaktmal" composed by Nabhadas.

Legend has it that Sadanshah used to sell chopped meat. He used to weigh the meat with a sacred stone (batia) of Lord Shankar. This stone, it is said, used to change its own weight according to the weight of the meat -- whether a ser or a maund -- required by the customer. Once some saints passing that way saw this sacred stone being used by a butcher, and they stole it. But in the night the Lord appeared in the dream of these saints, and told them that "This butcher is my devotee, return him the stone." The saints did as they were told.

A big fair is held at the shrine of the Baba every year from March 31 to April 2, and people from all religions and faiths congregate here. This site is a symbol of religious harmony in the region.

The shrine of Baba Sadanshah is also known by its nine steps and 32 pillars. Residents of Lalitpur believe that it is because of the holy effect of the Baba that the region has never witnessed any Hindu-Muslim riot since the partition.The shrine of Baba Sadanshah is also known by its nine steps and 32 pillars.

There is another legend associated with Baba Sadanshah. It is said that once the Baba was going on a pilgrimage to Jagannath Puri. Seeking shelter on the way he knocked at a door. There emerged a woman who did not appear to be normal by her behaviour. The Baba asked her about her husband, at which the woman went inside, beheaded her husband and brought his head to the Baba. He was taken aback and then the woman started shouting, maligning the Baba. Soon, angry villagers collected there and severed the hands of the Baba.

In Jagannath Puri, the temple priests had a dream in which the Lord said that "My devotee is coming to me. Bring him in a palanquin with song and dance."

The priests did as they were told. All those present in the temple were dancing and singing with cymbals in their hands. The Baba thought that he too would have played cymbals if he had his hands.

And his severed hands reappeared.
The Baba had a divine realization that "The woman was a cow in the previous birth, who was running away from the butcher, but you had stopped it and it was later killed by the butcher. The woman had taken revenge of the previous birth but your hands were given back to you because of your devotion." There is an old church in the vicinity.

In ward number 5, there is a building known as Bansa, under the control of the archaeology department. There is a temple of Lakshminarayan, believed to be from the Dwapar era.

In ward number 15, there is a Hanuman temple and a mosque, symbolizing Hindu-Muslim unity. In the same ward there is Sumera lake, built by the king of Vanpur, Sumer Singh. There is also a clock tower, built in the year 1952-53
