A 16th-century saint of Kashmir (d. 984/1576), whose birth name was Muhammad Hamza Raina and who is revered as "Sultan-ul-Arifeen" and "Mehboob-ul-Alam" (Wikipedia, "Hamza Makhdoom"; Greater Kashmir). He belonged to the Suhrawardi-Kubrawi tradition. His shrine (Makhdoom Sahib / Ziyarat Hazrat Sultan) stands on the southern slope of Hari Parbat (Koh-e-Maran) in Srinagar; a shrine was first built under the Mughal emperor Akbar and rebuilt during Afghan rule by governor Atta Muhammad Khan around 1821. He is reported to have been born in 900/1494. The coordinate is cross-verified via OpenStreetMap and Wikimapia (agreeing within ~10 m); the shrine building is distinct from the hilltop/fort location.
