Duzgin Baba (Zazaki: Duzgın Baba or dial. Duzgın Bava, also Kemerê Duzgıni "the rock of Duzgın", Kurdish: Duzgin Baba, دوزگن بابا), Dizgin տիզկին , is a religious figure among Alevi Zazas and Kurds, especially in the Tunceli Province. He also symbolizes a mountain in Nazımiye, nearby the village Qıl. The people believe that he disappeared at the top of this mountain, which is known as Kemerê Duzgıni (the rock of Duzgın), Bimbarek (holy) or Kemerê Bımbareki (holy rock) in Zazaki. According to local narrations he is the son of sayyid Khurês/Khurêş who was an ancestor of Khurêşan community and his real name is not Duzgın, it is Haydar or Shah Haydar (Zaz. Sa Heyder). But some researches suggest the opposite of this view.
