Ravi Batra/New Delhi
The shrines and dargahs of India remain living examples of sectarian harmony and brotherhood. During the month of Ramazan, Hindus Muslims, and Sikhs all turn to these shrines of Sufis to seek peace and blessing and all this ends up blurring the religious differences.
Heart-warming scenes of human unity and the oneness of the Divinity can be witnessed in the shrine of Hazrat Nizamuddin of New Delhi on festivals of all religions be it Diwali, Basant, or Ramazan.
These days Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah is soaked in the splendor of spirituality and devotion as people in large numbers are visiting it in the month of Ramazan.
This Ramazan, Awaz-the Voice photographer Ravi Batra spent an evening at the shrine of Hazrat Nizamuddin and captured images of love and brotherhood that best describe the syncretism of present-day India. Ravi Batra's photograph showed a pattern of unparalleled communal harmony at the table before Iftar at the Dargah. There was a confluence of tranquility, devotion, and worship. People of all religions were present at the Dargah.
It's interesting to note that even in this age of rat race and competition for worldly possession and success. people of all religions and faith find time to stop at the shrine of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. People pray there quietly and everyone has a serene look on their face.
Interesting scenes are seen at the Hazrat Nizamuddin's Dargah where Muslims are seen raising their hands for prayers while the Hindus join hands and bow in reverence to the memory of Khawaja Nizamuddin Auliya.
Everyone's eyes are fixed on the tomb of Hazrat Nizamuddin. Indeed such scenes make one believe that Nizamuddin Auliya is a revered figure not only by Muslims but by all Indians.
