The Dargah of Hazrat Wajihuddin is one of the earliest and most famous in Chanderi. Hazrat Wajihuddin reached Chanderi in the year 1395 A.D. He was born in 1260 at Kaal Kahar where he spent his childhood. As a young man Hazrat Wajihuddin with his parent's permission moved to Delhi where he served under the Sufi Saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya as a disciple. Hazrat Wajihuddin spent most of his time in meditation in a small hut in Gyas Pur Delhi.
He was appointed by Sultan Allauddin Khilji to look look after the poor and needy of Chanderi. In his appointment he so spread the word of Allah on unity, equality, brotherhood, and harmony, that he gained 1000s of disciples in Chanderi and also other towns.
During that time the head of the province, a Malik Tamar Sultan became very jealous of Hazrat Wajihuddin. 1000s of people visited Hazrat Wajihuddin's Darbaar and no longer coming to pray at the Sultan's Darbaar. Out of Jealousy Malik Tamar Sultan instigated an attack on Hazrat Wajihuddin Ashram. Soon a civil war started and more attacks from the Sultan's army followed with many of Hazrat Wajihuddin devotees killed and injured. The Sultan also sent a letter to Hazrat Wajihuddin to leave Chanderi. The situation was grave and many devotees fled. One devotee requested that Hazrat Wajihuddin move to Lukhnoti and that he would bear all the expenses an also build an ashram for him there. However Hazrat Wajihuddin refused and replied that he had not come to Chanderi on his own wish but had been ordered by his gurus to serve here, and he could not defy their order.
For guidance Hazrat Wajihuddin traveled to Delhi and met with Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. On consulting Nizamuddin he went back to Chanderi where he constructed a new Ashram and continued his service till his passing in 1328.
