A Tamil Qadiriyya Sufi mystic, poet and ascetic, born (1792) into a wealthy Rowther family at Kunangudi near Thondi (Ramanathapuram district), who renounced his wealth to become an ascetic. He composed about 100 devotional and philosophical poems (~5,000 lines) blending Islamic mysticism with Tamil siddhar and kirtan traditions, and settled in Chennai. His dargah has Hindu-temple-influenced architecture (a mandapam) and four disciples are interred with him (died 1838). (Sources: Wikipedia 'Kunangudi Masthan Sahib'; indoislamicheritage.com)
