He is not a hijra but an androgynous sect with mind blowing religious view that could be termed as heresy in Islamivc faith, they are married to God in a spiritual sense and are also known as Moosa Suhagins.

He is married has 9 children , he dresses as a woman in shalwar kameez but is male..
He is the Sufi counterpart of Ardh Nari Nareshwar.

I shot him extensively... I was lucky to have met him , the earliest Sada Suhagin I met was at Chor Bazar in Mumbai and sadly mistook him for a Hijra Bawa.. he cleared the ambiguity here at Haji Malang.

No More Urchins in Mumbai.. Goodbye Traffic Signals..

Its Getting Rid of the Urchins What About Punishing Those Who Fuckin Produce Them..

Sometimes I am shocked by our laws and system , they dont want urchins on the road so they will penalize them and the parents are laughing all the way to the bank, ready with the next one.. I almost puked ..

a leopard
in an urban jungle
in man

About Baba Farid from Wikipedia

Fariduddin Ganjshakar

Hazrat Bābā Farīduddīn Mas'ūd Ganjshakar (Punjabi: حضرت بابا فرید الدّین مسعود گنج شکر (Shahmukhi), ਹਜ਼ਰਤ ਬਾਬਾ ਫ਼ਰੀਦੁਦ੍ਦੀਨ ਮਸੂਦ ਗੰਜਸ਼ਕਰ (Gurmukhi)) (1173–1266)[1][2] or (1188 (584 Hijri) - May 7, 1280 (679 Hijri)),[3][4] commonly known as Baba Farid (Punjabi: بابا فرید (Shahmukhi), ਬਾਬਾ ਫ਼ਰੀਦ (Gurmukhi)), was a 12th-century Sufi preacher and saint of the Chishti Order of South Asia.[1]

Hazrat Baba Fariduddin Ganjshakar, a Sufi, is generally recognized as the first major poet of the Punjabi language[3] and is considered one of the pivotal saints of the Punjab region. Revered by Muslims and Hindus, he is also considered one of the fifteen Sikh Bhagats within Sikhism and his selected works form part of the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh sacred scripture.[5]

Bābā Farīd was born in 1173 or 1188 AD (584 Hijri) at Kothewal village, 10 km from Multan in the Punjab region of the Chauhan Dynasty in India, to Jamāl-ud-dīn Suleimān and Maryam Bībī (Qarsum Bībī), daughter of Sheikh Wajīh-ud-dīn Khojendī.[6] He was a descendant of the Farrūkhzād, known as Jamāl-ud-Dawlah, a Persian (Tajik) king of eastern Khorasan.[7]


Some other sources
Baba Sheikh Farid was a Sufi saint who is considered by many to be the first major poet of the Punjabi language. He was born in the Multan district of what is today Pakistan.

Later, when the Sikh holy book the Adi Granth Sahib was compiled, many of Baba Sheikh Farid's poems and couplets were included, alongside the poetry of Kabir and Ravidas
