The Nagore Durgha Sheriff is an Sufi dargah complex incorporating a Sufi shrine and mausoleum, that was completed in the early 19th century, located at the junction of Chulia Street and King Street, George Town, in Penang, Malaysia.
The shrine is dedicated to Syed Shahul Hamid, a 13th century Sufi saint of Nagore, Tamil Nadu, India. It was built in c. 1800 by Tamil Muslim traders from Thanjavur who settled in Penang, and brought the tradition of the saint with them.[1][2]
