Erwadi is a town located in the Kadaladi taluk of Ramanathapuram District in southern Tamil Nadu. It is located on the coast between Keelakarai and Valinokkam. The town is famous for the shrine of Sultan Syed Ibrahim Shaheed badusha.
Al Qutbul Hamid wal Gausul Majid Badhusha Sulthan Syed Ibrahim Shaheed is an 18th generation descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was the king of Madinah when he began his journey to India in the early 12th century to spread Islam according to Muhammad's wish. At the time he had millions of followers from all over the Islamic world. Sultan Syed Ibrahim Shahid first came to the Sindh province in Pakistan and spread Islam there through various means and returned to Madinah. Again in obligation to Muhammad's command, Shaheed Badusha started from Madinah with his entire family, leaving the throne behind. He encountered many difficulties while travelling by sea and through the forests on his way to India, without proper food and shelter or potable water to drink, but finally entered Kannanur in Kerala. His ultimate aim was to spread Islam as per the order of his hereditary grandfather Muhammad. He travelled via, Kayalpattinam, Vaippar and finally entered Bouthiramanickapattinam, now called Ervadi. Considering the religious importance of the place, the Tamil national daily Dinamalar has published 360o travel view of the dargah.
