As you walk through the narrow alleys of the old town, lined with vibrant shops selling flowers, chaddars (sacred cloth), and incense sticks, you'll be immersed in a spiritual ambiance. Upon entering the main Dargah complex, experience the serene atmosphere as qawwalis (Sufi devotional songs) fill the air.

Note: It’s advisable to wear modest clothing and remove shoes before entering the shrine. If you wish, you can also offer a prayer or tie a sacred thread as a mark of respect.
