Haji Ali Darga

0
(0)
Haji Ali Dargah is one of Mumbai’s most recognizable religious landmarks, located on a small islet off the city’s coastline. The mosque and tomb were built in the 15th century and are dedicated to the Sufi saint Haji Ali Shah Bukhari. The dargah is connected to the mainland by a narrow walkway that is accessible only during low tide. Its white structure surrounded by the Arabian Sea creates a striking and spiritual setting. For travelers, Haji Ali Dargah offers a unique cultural and spiritual experience, combining faith, history, and scenic ocean views in the heart of Mumbai

  • 🎼 Listen to soul-stirring Qawwali performances (usually on Thursday and Friday evenings) 🎶
  • 📸 Photograph the Dargah from the Worli shore as it appears to float on the water ✨
  • 🥤 Try the world-famous ‘Haji Ali Juice Centre’ at the entrance for fresh seasonal juices 🍓
