Various sources described him being the uncle (Bade Walid or Taau) of Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud.[1][4][5] He was the commander in the army of Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud. He died in the battle (1034 CE) before Salar Masud at Dikauli village, where his tomb is located at a distance of fifteen kilometres on the Bahraich - Bhinga road.[6] A large number of Hindus and Muslims perform ziyarat at the mausoleum of Bade Purush.[3]
An annual fair is held throughout the month of Jeth at the shrine of Bade Purush. The place is visited by pilgrims from every corner of the country, including Gonda, Bihar, Siddharth Nagar, Basti, Gorakhpur, Ambedkar Nagar, Pratapgarh, Allahabad and neighbouring country Nepal. The pilgrims arrive performing music with Dhol Majira and worshipped with incense sticks, camphor, perfume and offered chadar and sinni.[7][8][3][9]
According to the old tradition, before visiting the tomb of Ghazi Salar Masud of Bahraich, pilgrims pay obeisance at the shrine of Bade Purush.[10]
The Dargah is situated at a distance of about 22 km from the district headquarters of Shravasti. It is away 15 km from Bahraich.[1]
Kumar Suresh Singh, in his survey book, People of India: Uttar Pradesh, Volume 3, published by Anthropological Survey of India, describes Bade Purukh as the spiritual guide of Ghazi Mian (Salar Masud).[11]
