उर्स क़ुतुब गोगी हज़रत सैयद चंदा हुसैनी

Hazrat Syed Chanda Hussaini R.H, known as Qutub-e-Gogi (the Spiritual Axis of Gogi), was a revered Sufi saint of the Hussaini Sayyid lineage based in Gogi, Karnataka, India. He was a direct descendant of Hazrat Imam Hussain R.A, the beloved grandson of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and carried the spiritual light of the Ahl al-Bayt to the Deccan region. He traveled from his ancestral homeland to the town of Gogi in northern Karnataka, where he established a center of Islamic spirituality and learning that transformed the spiritual landscape of the entire region.

He was known for his deep spirituality, his miraculous powers (karamaat), and his extraordinary ability to guide seekers on the path of spiritual purification. His role in spreading Islam in the northern Karnataka region was immense — through his piety, his service to humanity, and his spiritual magnetism, he attracted thousands to the fold of Islam. He was known for his compassion toward all people regardless of their faith or background, embodying the universal message of love and mercy that characterizes the true inheritors of the Prophet ﷺ.

His shrine in Gogi is one of the most important Islamic shrines in Karnataka, attracting devotees from across the state and neighboring regions. The annual Urs of Qutub-e-Gogi is one of the largest religious gatherings in northern Karnataka, featuring Quran recitation, Naat recitals, scholarly lectures, and the distribution of food to thousands of devotees who gather to honor his memory and seek spiritual blessings from this great saint of the Hussaini lineage.
