Baba Fakhruddin was a disciple and successor of Pir Nathar Tabl e Aalam Badshah Natahar Vali of Tiruchirappalli. He was Shahanshaah (King of Kings) of Sistan and Shahpur of present-day Eastern Iran later abdicated the throne to take the path of Sufism. He was a direct descendant of Mohammed through Imam Hassan paternally and Imam Hussain maternally.
He traveled on foot from Sistan to Tiruchirappalli via Makkah, Madina, Afghanistan, Kashmir, and Gujrat states of India where he was initiated into the Qalandariyya Suhrawardiyya order by his Murshid Tabl e Aalam Nathar Vali at Tiruchirappalli. He was later accorded spiritual succession by his murshid and was set to find his abode where the Miswak spurt leaves. Baba Fakhruddin made Penukonda his home and final resting place.
