Other Than Nizammudin, These Dargahs In Delhi Offer An Elevating Experience

One of the famous Sufi shrines in Delhi is the Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya dargah which draws visitors to its mystical ambience in great numbers. The dargah has featured in various films and music videos to become a well-known spot in the city. Delhi, being the city that it unapologetically is, has more Sufi shrines and dargahs, offering equally magical experiences to its visitors. These dargahs mark Delhi as a special place and are worth a visit. So, next time you have the time and wish to have a soulful experience or need to make peace with your struggles, these dargahs can be the space you need to escape.

1. Hazrat Khwaja Nasiruddin Roshan Chirag Dehalvi

Nasiruddin Mehmood Chisti Nizami, a follower of Nizamuddin Auliya, rests in this dargah. He lived in Delhi during the 14th century. Although a little noisy because of the traffic in the locality, the dargah will provide you with the peace you wish to feel. It is said that Nasiruddin Mehmood performed a miracle and lit lamps magically with water instead of oil. He did this after Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq curbed the oil supply to the Ghiyaspur area.

2. Hazrat Inayat Khan Dargah

This beautiful dargah is located near the Nizammudin dargah. Despite its narrow streets and alleys, the structure of Hazrat Inayat Khan is gorgeous. However, it is private property, and you’d need permission from the security guard to enter the place.
