Mir Sayyid Jalaluddin Bukhari was born into a Muslim family on 19 January 1308 AD (14 Shaban 707 AH). His father, Syed Ahmed Kabir, was the youngest son of Jalaluddin Surkh-Posh of Bukhara.[1]

He was later given the title of Jahaniyan Jahangasht from which he gained prominence. He travelled to many countries, and visited Mecca 36 times in his life. He married the daughter of his half-uncle Sadruddin Muhammad Ghawth.[2] He travelled with Lalleshwari, one of his grandfather's female disciples, to Kashmir.[3]

He visited Hazrat Pandua, the first capital of the Bengal Sultanate, where he led the janazah of Alaul Haq Pandwi, the court scholar of Bengal. Some of his gifts to Bengal include a Jhanda which is preserved in the dargah of Jalaluddin Tabrizi in Pandua and a Qadam Rasul at the Qadam Rasul Mosque in Gaur. The nearby Jhan Jhaniya Mosque of the 16th-century is said to be named in his honour too.[4] Every year, during the urs of Akhi Siraj Bengali, Jahangasht's jhanda is taken from Tabrizi's dargah to Akhi Siraj's mausoleum.[5]
