  • 5/5 Mahin M. 10 months ago on Google • 55 reviews
    I was amazed by the beauty and serenity of this place. The dargah is a shrine dedicated to the Sufi saint Shah Wajihuddin Alvi, who was a descendant of Imam Ali. The dargah is located in a peaceful area surrounded by greenery and flowers. The architecture of the dargah is stunning, with intricate carvings and domes. The main hall has a large marble tomb of the saint, covered with a green cloth and decorated with flowers and chandeliers. The atmosphere inside the dargah is very calm and soothing, with people praying and reciting verses from the Quran. The dargah also has a library, a museum, and a garden where one can learn more about the life and teachings of the saint. The staff and volunteers at the dargah are very friendly and helpful, and they provide free food and water to the visitors. I felt very blessed and peaceful after visiting this dargah, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the spiritual and cultural richness of Ahmedabad. This is one of the best places to visit in the city, and I give it a 5 star rating.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Hazrat Shah Wajihuddin Alvi was an Islamic scholar and Sufi of Shattari tradition. Born in Champaner, he moved to Ahmedabad where he received and later imparted knowledge in Islamic studies. He was initiated in Shattari tradition by Hazrat Mohammed Ghaus Gwaliori. He died in Ahmedabad in 1580 CE (988 H.). The tomb dedicated to him was built by his disciple Syed Murtuza Khan Bukhari, the eleventh (1606-1609) governor of Ahmedabad during reign of Jahangir. The central dome is much higher than several other domes surrounding it. The walls have perforated stone windows. There is an underground reservoir and a cistern said to have healing power and not to have been dry ever.

    One of most old and famous shrine located exactly near Lal-Darwaja. I've been here since past 5+ years. It is a known belief that if someone with speaking disabilities come here it take sugar with the help tongue from here, then the person will overcome disabilities to a much extent.

    Shah Wajihuddin Alvi Dargah is a popular tourist destination in Ahmedabad. It is visited by people from all over India and from other countries as well. People come to the dargah to pray, seek blessings, and to learn about the life of Shah Wajihuddin Alvi. I visited Shah Wajihuddin Alvi Dargah in March 2023. I was impressed by the beauty of the dargah and its sacred atmosphere. I also felt a sense of peace and tranquility while I was there. I prayed for blessings from Shah Wajihuddin Alvi and I believe that my prayers will be answered. I would highly recommend visiting Shah Wajihuddin Alvi Dargah if you are ever in Ahmedabad. It is a beautiful and sacred place that will leave you feeling calm and peaceful.
