Situated
in
Cuttack
district
of
Odisha,
Bukhari
Baba
Mazar
is
an
ancient
dargah
of
Sufi
Saint
Hazrat
Sayeed
Ali
Saheed
Bukhari.
It
was
built
inside
the
Barabati
fort
in
the
year1468
and
is
a
beautiful
piece
of
Mughal
architecture.
He
is
one
of
those
unique
saints
who
has
two
dargahs,
one
at
Cuttack
and
another
at
Jajpur
district
of
Odisha.
According
to
the
Moulvi,
his
head
is
worshipped
at
Cuttack
and
his
body
at
Jajpur.
It
is
said
that
the
saint
came
to
Cuttack
with
the
invading
Afgan
Army.
In
a
war,
he
was
brutally
attacked
where
his
head
was
severed
from
the
body.
It
fell
on
the
very
spot
where
the
dargah
now
stands.
However
the
saint
reached
Jajpur
on
a
horse
back
without
his
head
and
fell
down
on
reaching
the
spot
where
his
other
dargah
stands.
He
is
said
to
be
a
very
pious
person
and
revered
highly
among
the
people
here.
People
throng
the
place
round
the
week,
mostly
to
pay
homage
and
to
ward
off
any
evil
spell.
People
are
given
holy
water
to
drink
and
apply
bibhuti.
There
is
a
small
yet
beautiful
pond
in
the
premises,
which
has
great
historical
significance.
It
is
said
till
a
century
back,
when
people
come
to
visit
the
shrine,
utensils
came
out
of
the
pond
as
per
the
requirement
of
the
visiting
party
to
cook
food.
However
after
a
few
cases
of
theft,
it
stopped
popping
up.
