Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented a ‘chadar’ to Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Wednesday, which will be offered at Ajmer Sharif Dargah on the 810th Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti.
PM Modi tweeted, “Presented the Chadar which shall be offered at the Ajmer Sharif Dargah on the Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti.”
PM Modi also shared a picture where he is seen holding the yellow ‘chadar’ along with the minister.
Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, also popularly known as Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz, was a beloved Sufi saint of the Chisti order. He is known to be the direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad.
Born in Sistan (present-day Eastern Iran and Southern Afghanistan), he travelled all the way from Sistan to Lahore to Delhi, and finally settled in Ajmer, Rajasthan. His tomb in Ajmer, the Ajmer Sharif Dargah, is one of the holiest Islamic sites in the world.
Muslims from across the world visit Dargah Sharif every year to offer their prayers. Not only Muslims, but people belonging to different religions also visit this shrine throughout the year.
