From right to left, the five larger figures are named as ‘Ghous-e-Pak’, ‘Hazrat Data Ganj Bukhsh’, ‘Hazrat Khawaja Moinud-din Ajmeri’, ‘Pir Mehr Ali’ and Hazrat Baba Farid Ganj-e-Shakar’. In the same order, the smaller figures are named as ‘Mehboob-e-Elahi (Delhi)’, ‘Boo-Ali’ and ‘Qutbud-din’. The last figure is unnamed.
