With regard to Prophet Yahya, Allah says "Peace Be Upon Him on the day he was born, and on the day he died and on the day he will be risen (here after)." (Quran, sura Maryam, v. 15)

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to pay a visit each year at the shrines of the Martyrs of the war of Uhad. On the authority of the above, Urs is celebrated once every year on the day Sufis Die.

Urs-e-Shareef of Hazrath Khwaja Bandanawaz is celebrated on the 15th, 16th and the 17th of Dhu al-Qadah every year. Around five to six lakh people from almost all over India and from abroad come to Gulbarga to visit the saint during the Urs.
