Naugaja Peer (Punjabi: ਨੌਂਗਜਾ ਪੀਰ) was a saint whose height was 9 "gaj" which in Indian metric units equals 8 meters and 36 inches or 27 feet. An explanation is that peer was likely surrounded by his nine men making 27 feet rectangular border to save him [1] His name was Syed Ibrahim Badshah, who is believed to ensure safe journeys and completion of all works in time.[2]
There are many shrines of Naugaja Peer in the Punjab region which form part of Punjabi folk religion. The shrine is regularly visited by passers by and from people from the Punjab region.[1]
