One of the great saints who visited Kashmir in 14th century was Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani from the province of Geelan in Iran. In the locality of Khanyar in downtown Srinagar, a spacious complex by the name of the shrine of Pir Dastgeer was established in his name and it became a sanctified place for the visitations of the saint.

This architectural wonder was a symbol of Kashmir’s collective faith, spirituality and cultural heritage. The shrine, built around 200 years ago in Kashmir, was a mark of respect toward Abdul Qadir Jeelani, a saint who hailed from Gilan province of Persia. Dastgeer Sahib is buried inside a shrine in the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

Dastageer Sahib (RA) Four Years on, Shrine still incomplete

While the re-construction work on Dastageer Sahib (RA) Shrine at Khanyar has been halted from last one year, the Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Wakf board blamed the Jammu and Kashmir Projects Construction Corporation (JKPCC) for escalating the construction cost, which according to them has ‘unduly’ delayed the completion of the project.
The revered shrine of Dastgeer Sahib (RA) was gutted in a devastating fire on June 26, 2012 after which the government had ordered for its speedy reconstruction. However three years later, the project has not been completed, leaving devotees and local populace miffed over this lackadaisical approach.
Vice Chairman, WAKF board, Peer Hussain told The Kashmir Monitor that the JKPCC, despite having received the funds from the government, has escalated the construction cost at the last moment.
“The government earlier had estimated Rs.6 Cr as the cost for the reconstruction of the shrine which was agreed upon by the JKPCC-its nodal agency. But they (JKPCC) unnecessarily delayed the construction work and have now escalated the construction cost upto Rs.9Cr. The government has already allotted the estimated funds,” he said.
“90 percent of the construction work has been completed but now the JKPCC is not working on it. The Urs of Dastageer is also nearing and definitely the delay will create problems to some extent,” Peer added.
Presently the interiors including the praying space of the shrine has not been reconstructed completely. The windows of the shrine are without glasses and the washrooms are also in pathetic condition.
The inordinate delay in the reconstruction of shrine is miffing the devotees who slammed the government for failing to ensure its speedy completion.
“It has been three years and yet the government is failing to complete its construction. Dastageer Sahab (RA) shrine is the most revered shrine. Now the Urs will be observed and the shabby condition will miff the people,” said Shabir Hakak a devotee from Srinagar.
When contacted the Managing Director JKPCC, Dilip Thusoo said that they are working on the interior details of the shrine.
“It had some issues regarding the interiors and we are working on it. We assure you that the reconstruction work will be completed soon,” he said.

The Pir Dastgir Sahib, perhaps the most stunning Sufi shrine in Srinagar, Kashmir, was damaged by fire on June 25, 2012. This is a tragic loss for Kashmiris, who are mourning the destruction of one of their most beloved religious sites. It also represents a heartbreaking loss of world architectural and cultural heritage.

In memory of this amazing shrine, we took our footage from 2008 and made this short video showing the impressive interior decorated with colorful Kashmiri papier mache art.

Tearful prayers at Makhdoom Sahib Shrine in Srinagar, Kashmir, India.

Makhdoom Sahib Shrine at Srinagar is located at the foothills of Hari Parbat. The shrine rests below a magnificent Mughal fort that's spread out on the hill. This fort gives a magnificent top view of Makhdoom Sahib Shrine and falls on the southern side of the hill. Beauty of this shrine is truly enchanting and invites devotees on a large scale irrespective of their religion. This shrine is named after Hazrat Sultan, who belonged to Syed dynasty. He hailed from Tujar Shareef which lies in Kashmir. He inherited land lordship from the family but was a scholar and a mystic Sufi Muslim Saint. 'Makhdoom' denotes a person who dedicates his life to Islam and Quran.

Hazrat Sultan is said to have had divine powers. Personal experiences of people tell us that those who visit the shrine never return empty handed. Unbelievable recoveries have increased the faith of people and their number of visits to this place.

This double storied mosque is an invigorating structure and it's designed with many pillars, high connecting false ceiling and conical roofs. The mosque has a high peak on top finished with descending roof sizes. This shrine also connects to the famous Dal Lake and a number of stone steps take you there. The exteriors of this mosque are a striking example of Mughal architectural design. Some parts of the shrine can be correlated to the Mughal fort on top. This shrine is open throughout the year, irrespective of the extreme weather conditions of this place.
