[[Category:Glossary]] '''Chilla-e-Makoos''' or '''Chilla-e-Namaz''' (also spelled '''Chilla-i-Makus‎''') is an inverted ''chilla'' which is undertaken hanging upside down. This is a difficult ''mujaheda'' (striving) in which the body is suspended upside down by means of a rope, often in a well, the dervish remaining in this position all night. Hazrat [[Fariduddin Ganjshakar]] is reported to have been one of the first saints to have performed Chilla-e-Makoos. Hazrat [[Naushah Ganj Bakhsh]], founder of the Naushahi branch of the Qadri order, is also reported to have often performed this arduous exercise.
