The magnificence unveiled
Hazratbal Shrine stands out as an extraordinary place due to its possession of the hair of Prophet Muhammad, believed to have been brought there by Islamic saint Syed Abdullah during the 17th-century. Additionally, its original structure was constructed during this same time period with support from Sadiq Khan who served under Shah Jahan.
Hazratbal Shrine, an architectural marvel, showcases Islamic design's intricacy through delicate woodwork and resplendent marble domes. Set against Dal Lake's peaceful atmosphere, the shrine's white marble facade casts mesmerising reflections onto its tranquil waters fostering an environment of serenity and peace.
Hazratbal Shrine has always played an integral part in Kashmir history. From serving as a political prison during Ata Mohammad Khan's rule to its restoration during Maharaja Ranjit Singh's, this shrine has seen all sides.
Legends that Illumine
Hazratbal Shrine has long been shrouded in mystery and reverence. Legend has it that during the early 20th century, an extraordinary light appeared above the shrine - sparking imaginations and inspiring devotion among devotees who saw this sign from above as sacred.
