New Delhi, Nov 23 (PTI) For the lovers of the Sufi tradition, a visit to the dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya was always a mystic experience, but the exercise can now turn out to be a mini pilgrimage of sorts, thanks to the efforts of a group of young heritage volunteers.
While the site where Delhi”s most revered saint is buried continues to draw thousands of people, most of them overlook the fact that the complex also houses the graves of a number of other renowned Sufis, mostly the followers of Hazrat Nizamuddin and his Chistia tradition.
What also comes with the tombs and monuments at one of Delhi”s oldest settlements is a remarkable bunch of legends and lores associated with these saints that have in many cases been transferred through the ages through word of mouth.
Now, local volunteers of ”Sair-e-Nizamuddin”, a youth self help group, which has been conducting heritage walks for outsiders in the area, has added another dimension to their guided tours — that of ”Sufi walks”.
It’s great..I would like to experience it…how do I go about it….
