Shrine of Bahauddin Zakariya
دربار بہاؤالدین زکریا
This 13th-century shrine honors Bahauddin Zakariya, founder of the Suhrawardi Sufi order in South Asia. Its white dome and blue glazed decoration draw large crowds of devotees.
Bahauddin Zakariya (1170–1262) brought the Suhrawardi Sufi order to South Asia. His tomb stands on the north side of the old fortress. It has a square base, an octagonal drum, and a white dome. The shrine was damaged during the siege of 1848 and later rebuilt.
Large numbers of pilgrims offer flowers and pray here every day. On Thursday evenings, qawwali music often fills the shrine.
Entry is free. You must remove your shoes and dress modestly. You can ask a local guide to show you around and explain the history.
