The correct answer is Shaikh Bahauddin Zakariya.

Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, Baba Fariduddin Ganj-i-Shakar, and Nizamuddin Auliya were all prominent saints of the Chishti order of Sufism in India. Shaikh Bahauddin Zakariya, however, was the founder and leading saint of the Suhrawardi order in India.

The Chishti order was established in India by Khwaja Moinuddin in Ajmer. Baba Farid and Nizamuddin Auliya were key figures in its development and spread. The Suhrawardi order, established by Shaikh Bahauddin Zakariya in Multan, was another major Sufi order in India, often differing from the Chishtis in their approach, particularly regarding association with the state.
