Give Your Ears A Soulful Treat With The Qawwalis At Nizamuddin Dargah!
We’re pretty sure after watching Ranbir Kapoor in the famous song ‘Kun Faaya Kun’ almost all of us thought of making a visit at the Dargah. Still waiting to go? This post might just make you want to go right away!
30 Second Window:
- Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya Dargah, dargah of a Sufi saint, Khwaja Nizamuddin Auliya, has diverse worshippers/visitors from all across the world! You can sit here all day long and observe characters telling different stories.
- The lanes that lead to the Dargah are lined up with joints selling salivating food(one of them being KARIM’S!). If you’re a non-vegetarian, this place is a paradise for you! From chicken biryanis to chicken kormas, jalebis to samosas, you can please your taste buds with a variety of food. So just roll up your sleeves and let the games begin! Oh! Did we mention that the price list is budget friendly to some another level?
- Okay, this point might just give you an ecstasy(not the drug) attack! The live qawwali sessions at the Dargah happen *drumrolls* *some more drumrolls* E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y! That’s right! The singers offer prayers to his holiness through qawwalis every day usually 5-7 p.m; though the timings vary slightly. The qawwalis and their power will give you goosebumps!
- Reaching Dargah is quite easy. Only a minute away from Jangpura Metro Station(Violet line), you land at the start of a lane that is marked as ‘Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya Dargah’. A 5-minute walk into the colorful lane and you reach Dargah.
- The Amir Khusro tomb and Jamaat Khana Masjid also exist within the Dargah.
DforDelhi Recommends:
- To go to Dargah on Thursdays as the qawwali sessions on those days is found to be the most amazing one of all the other days as Thursday is a precursor to jumme ki raat (Friday).
- To definitely try chicken biryani from any restaurant in the lanes right before dargah. If the restaurants seem shady, you can always go for Karim’s.
Stop biting your tounges and just get in that damn metro and go to Dargah!
