Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah
हज़रत निज़ामुद्दीन दरगाह
The 14th-century tomb of the Sufi saint Nizamuddin. On Thursday evenings, Sufi qawwali music fills the crowded lanes with a spiritual atmosphere.
The shrine lies in the old village of Nizamuddin, near Humayun's Tomb, surrounded by winding narrow lanes, rose-petal stalls and kebab shops. The saint's tomb chamber is decorated with marble screens and painted work, and next to it lies the tomb of the poet Amir Khusrau. Every evening, especially on Thursdays, musicians perform qawwali devotional music in the courtyard after sunset prayers, and worshippers clap along to the rhythm. Visitors must remove their shoes, cover their heads, and keep their shoulders and knees covered. Women are not permitted inside the tomb chamber. Keep an eye on your belongings and be cautious of anyone asking for donations.
