Garhori was born in Ranipur, Khairpur, Sindh in 1739. He was a disciple of Sultan-ul-Aoliya Khawaja Muhammad Zaman.
In 1778, Garhori fought against a Hindu magician named Mahadev in the Thar desert. Mahadev and other priests of his temple claimed to be gods and started converting Muslims to Hinduism. Garhori and his followers attacked the temple, destroying it, and both Mahadev and Garhori were killed.[1]
