Dastgir Sahib Shrine

Location

One mosque that is relatively free of external disturbance is the Dastgir Sahib dargah situated in Srinagar in the Kashmir Valley. Communal harmony and syncretism are the features of this mosque for many centuries.

This mosque is very special, adorned with colorful panels that are carved intricately and to wrench down the Aytal Kursi, by the devotees, which hang at the door. Stories of any number of families, their hopes and sufferings stand alone brighter by the fuchsia and blue flower patterns and the colorful threads tied to the wooden ledge. This is an attractive shrine, for both the believers and mere tourists.
