Haji Ali Dargah – It Has One And Only Pathway To Go To The Entrance Of Dargah

HAJI ALI DARGAH

AT

MUMBAI

Haji Ali Dargah is one of the most popular religious places in Mumbai, visited by people of all religions alike. Haji Ali Dargah is one of India’s most famous and prestigious landmarks situated about 500 yards from the Mumbai shoreline in the middle of the Arabian Sea off Lala Lajpatrai Marg.

The structure was erected on a set of high rising rocks and was given its present day shape in the early 19th century after the Trust was legally formed as an entity in 1916.

Haji Ali Dargah is the complex housing the tomb of the Muslim Saint Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari (R.A.). Along with the tomb, there is also a Masjid at Haji Ali. This monument has been sentinel to the shores of Mumbai since a long time.

The structure has white domes and minarets reminiscent with the Mughal architecture of the period. The Dargah is a renowned pilgrimage site among the Muslims. Non-Muslims are also allowed to visit the Dargah. The white-coloured structure attracts visitors in large numbers.

About 10 - 15 thousand people visit the Dargah daily. The number of visitors increases to 20 - 30 thousand, on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. Lakhs of devotees visit the Dargah on the second day of Ramadhan Eid and Bakri Eid (Eid-ul-Uzha), and during which the pathway leading to the Dargah Complex looks like a Sea of Humanity.

People from all parts of the world without restrictions of caste, creed and religion visit the Dargah to offer their prayers and for the fulfillment of their wishes by the blessings of the Saint Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari (R.A.). Some pray for wealth, others for health, children, marriages, etc. have their wishes being granted at all the times.

As the Dargah Sharief was built amidst the Sea a narrow  pathway leading to Dargah from Lala Lajpat Rai Marg up to the Main Gate of Haji Ali Dargah Complex was constructed in 1944, by the trust fund.

The pathway connects the shore to the Haji Ali Dargah complex. The 700-yard pathway that leads to Haji Ali Dargah is not surrounded by railings. Since it is lashed by the waves of the Arabian Sea, one can visit the Dargah only when the tide is low.

As the height of the pathway was raised by a few feet during the 1980's, the Dargah has become accessible throughout the year except in the monsoons during the months of July and August when the Seas are very rough. During this time the Gates on either side of the pathway are closed for a few hours until the waves subside for the safety of devotees and visitors.

Haji Ali Dargah is a handsome example of Islamic architecture standing on an island. At the end of the pathway leading to the Dargah Complex is short flight marble steps, at end of which stand a tall monumental Main Gate to the complex. This is the one and only entry routes to the complex.

The Main Gate is made of RCC and covered with pure white marble. It will reconstructed out of solid pure white marble as part of the renovation and reconstruction program.
