Shah Ghulam Ali Abdullah Dehlavi, successor of Mirza Mazhar Jan-i Janan, turned his Delhi khanqah into the worldwide centre of the Mujaddidi order; the 'Mujaddidiyya Dihlawiyya' is named after him. His most famous deputy was Mawlana Khalid al-Baghdadi, founder of the Khalidi branch, through whom the chain reached the Ottoman lands and Anatolia. He died on 22 Safar 1240 (16 October 1824) and was buried in the khanqah cemetery in Delhi beside his master Mirza Mazhar; no cross-verified coordinates exist for the tomb, so no pin is given.
