The Thiruparankundram Dargah, also known as Thirupparankundram malai Dargah, is a dargah (Sufi shrine) located in Thiruparankundram, Madurai district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Located on the northeastern side of the Tirupparankundram hillock, the complex was built in the 14th century CE as a memorial for Sikandar Shah, the last ruler of the Madurai Sultanate, and was expanded in the later years. The death anniversary of Sikandar Badusha is commemorated as the Santhanakoodu festival on the 17th night of the Islamic month of Rajab every Hijri year.
