Srinagar- The narrow streets of Khanyar in Srinagar and Sarai Bala turned deeply devotional on Friday as an ocean of devotees gathered to observe the Friday following Urs Mubarak of the revered saint, Hazrat Sheikh Syed Abdul Qadir Jeelani (RA), popularly known as Dastageer Sahib (RA).

From Khanyar Chowk to Sheeraz Chowk, the air reverberated with cries of devotion as men, women and children sat on prayer mats in front of the grand Dastageer Sahib Shrine, raising their hands in supplication.

According to the details, emotions ran high when the holy relic of the saint was displayed, with devotees breaking into tears, their voices trembling with faith and longing.

“I come here every year, but the moment the Moi-e-Muqqadas, (holy relic) is displayed, my heart trembles,” said 65-year-old Ghulam Rasool, his eyes moist.

“It feels as if the saint himself is among us, blessing us all.”

The scene was one of spiritual grandeur as homes near the shrine opened their doors and rooftops for people to catch a glimpse of the relic.
