Muslim Pilgrimage You can travel the length and breadth of India and find Muslim shrines right across the country. From Kashmir in the North to Kanyakumari in the south, from Rajasthan in the West to Assam in the east, there are mosques, religious shrines and holy places of importance for Muslims in India. There are many important Muslim pilgrimage sites that you will see as you travel across India. In this tour we will cover Ajmer (Rajasthan), Fathepur & Sikri(near Agra), Delhi and Kalyar (Roorkee). Ajmer, The Dargah of Khwaja Moin-ud-din Chisti: This Sufi saint came to Ajmer from Persia in 1192, died in 1236 and was buried here.
His tomb, is visited by thousands of devotee Muslims every year. The shrine was erected by Humayun. The Dargah also has mosques which were built by the Mughal rulers Shah Jahan, Jahangir and Akbar. According to historical accounts Akbar used to make a pilgrimage to Ajmer every year. In Delhi we cover, The Jama Masjid which is India's largest mosque. It is a very important symbol for the Muslim community in India. Other mosques in Delhi include Abdu'n Nabi's Mosque, Hazrat Nizamuddin
Auliya Dargah, Madhi Masjid, Begampiri Masjid, Idgah, Moth-Ki-Masjid, Chiragh-I-Delhi's Dargah, Nilli Masjid, Chauburji-Masjid, Jamali-Kamali Mosque, Tomb Palam Mosque, Dargah-Qutb-Sahib, Kalu Saraj Masjid, Quwwatu'l Islam Masjid, Hauz-i-Shamsi, Khirki-Ki-Masjid and Sunehari Masjid. Fatehpur Sikri, The hill-top city lies 37 kms from Agra in the state of Uttar Pradesh. This deserted city has two distinct complexes.

The first comprises the royal enclosure of the palaces, the harem and official buildings and the second is the dargah of a Sufi saint, with a mosque and a lofty gateway. The Dargah of Sufi Sheikh Salim Chisti : It was built by Emperor Akbar, the third monarch of the Mughal dynasty. He had built himself an impressive empire. His kingdom spanned north India and there was no king who could challenge him. There was peace in the land and the royal treasury overflowed with tribute. His only grief was that, at he age of twenty-six and after twelve years of rule, he had no heir. None of his sons had survived infancy. When Akbar prayed before the Sufi saint, Sheikh Salim Chishti, he predicted that the king would have three sons. Chishti lived in a scheduled hill-top shack in a village called Sikri, a little removed from Agra. In 1569, one of Akbar's Rajput queens, who later came to be known as Maryam Zamani or Mary of the Age, gave birth to a son. He was named Salim after the saint. And, as predicted, two other sons were born within the next few years. The emperor gave thanks with extravagant grandeur. In 1571, Akbar began building a mosque and then a palace complex at Sikri.

Gradually the royal court shifted from Agra to the new city. The nobility built their mansions further down the hill and shops lined the road to Agra. To commemorate his conquest of Gujarat, Akbar named his new capital Fatehpur Sikri or the City of Victory. Kalyar, Hazrat Alaudin Kaliyari Sarkar sabir Pak was a Islamic Sufi . He was in the Chisti Silsila of Khawaja Gharib Nawaz Ajmeri.He was Sufi of Great Stature and is revered by both Hindus and Muslims . The Place Where he is taking rest is Kaliyar, in Roorkee district of Uttarnachal India. His Urs is Celebrated by Milions of People Every Year in Kaliyar.
