Culture
Syed Shah Afzal Biabani (1795 – 1856 A.D / 1210 – 26
Safar, 1272
Hijri year) was a
Sufi from
Warangal,
Hyderabad State (now Kazipet 132 km from Hyderabad, India). He was appointed
Qadi of Warangal during the reign of Nizam Ali Khan (Asaf Jah II). Thus the name Kazipet. His
dargah is among Warangal's pilgrimage centers.
The word "Biabani" indicates a type of rural area in Persian Language and Urdu. He received this nickname because he spent 12 years in Tasawwuf (a form of Sufi meditation) in the caves located in the forest of Battupalli near Kazipet.
