Welcome to Hazrat Baba Tajuddin Trust Official Site, Nagpur

Baba's Chhabbisi

Chhabbisi Procession

The monthly celebration of Hazrat Baba Tajuddin's spiritual liberation (Purdah Farmana), held on the 26th day of every month of the Hijri Calendar.

As Baba Tajuddin got liberated from his worldly physical body on the 26th day of the month of Moharram, the 26th day of every month of the Mahomedan (Hijri) Calendar is celebrated as Chhabbisi, which literally means "the Twenty-Sixth" in Urdu.

Sufi tradition holds that emancipated spiritually elevated souls and saints do not "Die", but are "Liberated". This phenomenon is referred to as "Purdah Farmana" as per Sufi traditions or "Samadhi" as per Hindu customs.

At 9:00 AM, the Parcham (Flag) is ceremonially carried from the Trust Office to the Nishan (Flag post). The process of Flag-Hoisting is completed with great fanfare, after graceful prayers by the Shahi Imam of Tajabad. Thereafter, the sacred Chadar is presented at the Shrine of Baba Tajuddin by the Trust. Throughout the day, a massive number of devotees visit the shrine, and at 10:00 PM, Milad Sharif is recited in the Darbar.
