Dedicated to Shaikh Sharafudeen
Bu Ali Qalandar Panipati, a saint of the Chisti order, who lived in India, this
tomb is a prominent site on the tourist circuit. The tomb is almost 700 years
old and stands as a symbol of faith, harmony and integrity. Within the
enclosure, there are two more tombs: those of Hakim Mukaram Khan and the great
Urdu poet of that time Maulana Altaf Hussain Ali. Every Thursday, people
irrespective of their cast, creed or religion, offer prayers at this place. The
annual Urs Mela (fair) held at the tomb draws devotees from all corners of the
country and the site comes alive with celebrations. Regular qawwali festivals
are also held at the tomb and tourists come in large numbers to enjoy the
scintillating performances by traditional singers. A visit to the tomb, which
lies in close proximity to the grave of Ibrahim Lodhi, makes for a truly
peaceful experience.
