Bookmark

One of the most revered Islamic shrines of the world, the Hazratbal Shrine is an important symbol of history and religion of India. You must visit this flawless white marble beauty at least once in your life. Read on to know what this holy abode has in store for you!

Hazratbal is blessed with lush green gardens, a hilly backdrop and is thronged by thousands of pigeons which, it is said, brings peace to the shrine. The architecture of the colossal dome and minaret is an intermingling of Kashmiri and Mughlai designs and techniques. 

The shrine holds an essential relic, a hair of Prophet Muhammad, which brings millions of devotees to Hazratbal every year. It was initially housed in Ziyarat Naqshband Sahab before being sent to Hazratbal for safekeeping.

It is quite close to Nishat Bagh. So, after a fun-filled morning excursion to the garden, you can make a visit to Hazratbal and enjoy some guftagu with the pigeons. After all, how often do you find such a wondrous combination of beauty and history? See y’all there!
