Taj-ud-din Chishti was a grandson Farid-ud-din Ganjshakar (1179 - 1266) of Pakpattan and his descendants founded the village of Chishtian around 1265 CE (574 Hijri, Islamic calendar).

The dargah of Taj-ud-din Chishti is called Roza Taj Sarwar.

Many native tribes in Punjab region accepted Islam due to his missionary Da‘wah. Khawaja Tajuddin Chishti faced hostility from tribes that opposed his Muslim missionary Da‘wah and he was martyred in a battle and was buried in Chishtian.
