The mausoleum of Hazrat Hajna Shah Bodlo Bahar, was one of the favorite disciples of Hazrat Qalander Lal Shahbaz. He reportedly traveled from Uch Sharif and stayed for sometime with Hazrat Qalander Lal Shahbaz at Sehwan Sharif. Hazrat Hanja Shah Bodlo Bahar belongs to the family of Hazrat Imam Moosa Kazim. Complying with the instructions of his mentor, Bodlo Bahar shifted to Ranipur and made it his last abode. The history of the construction of the old red-brick mansoleum (without plaster) of Bodlo Bahar is though not confirmed however, Fida Hussain Pirzada, the Mutawaliof the Dargah claims that his shrine was built by Mian Noor Muhammad Kalhoro, the then ruler of Sindh. The Shrine houses at least sixteen graves including the one of Maha Rani, who was a diehard devotee, (whose after the city of Ranipur is famous). Maha Rani spent her whole life in the service of his Murshid Bodlo Bahar and people say that she traveled all the way from Uch Sharif to Sindh in the company of Murshid. Majority of the followers of this Dargah belongs to Hindu community and the annual Urs of the Dargah is usually celebrated in the spring season. It is said that there are seven persons carrying the title of Bodlo who are buried in the entire Indo Pak or else where in Iran and Iraq. Sikandar Bodlo is buried in Sehwan and yet another Bodlo is buried in Rohri Sharif.
