The shrine of Fariduddin Ganjshakar, Baba Farid Ji, is at Pakpattan in Pakistan's Punjab. His verses are in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
The Indian anchor is Faridkot, named for him, where Gurdwara Tilla Baba Farid Ji marks the place he is said to have done chilla.
The story that he was pressed into forced labour by Raja Mokalsi and that the town was renamed as a consequence is tradition, not record.
Ajodhan, the older name, was a crossing on the Sutlej and a station on the road to Multan. Ibn Battuta passed through in the fourteenth century and recorded the shrine already functioning as a centre of pilgrimage.
The Behesht Darwaza, the gate of paradise, is opened once a year during the urs and pilgrims pass through it in enormous numbers. A crush at the gate in 2001 killed dozens. The gate is silver-plated and the opening is controlled by the hereditary custodians, the Diwans of Pakpattan, whose family has held the shrine for seven centuries.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji came here and met Sheikh Braham, a successor in the line, and the shloks of Baba Farid Ji entered the Sikh tradition through that transmission. That is why a Chishti corpus from the thirteenth century is preserved more completely in a Sikh scripture than at the shrine it came from.
