NAZAR O NIYAZ (Offerings)

Nazarana

The position of Khadim is two fold - on the one hand he is "duty bound" for the hereditary services of the Shrine and on the other hand it is purely spiritual to the entire satisfaction of the pilgrim in return for a religious act (Dua) for the fulfillment of his vows (Mannat) either before or after. It is similar to "Dakshina" offered to the deity for the Pandits of Pushkar where Brahma's temple is situated. Thus Ajmer is both religious and historical for the Hindus and the Muslims. Actually there is unity in diversity and that is why they - the princes, the politicians and the peasants come here to be in tune with the spirit once again. The "SPIRITUAL DOCTOR" bestows his blessing on all regardless of rank, race and region this is the living miracle of the Saint.

Zaireen

As far the facility of the Zaireen are concerned it is the binding duty of every Khuddam-e-Khwaja to treat them with due honour and dignity and to provide every possible facility to them. The devotees to the Holy Shrine, factually speaking are the guests of Huzoor Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A.) and have been treated as such all along by the Khuddam-e-Khwaja. It is a fact that despite all the efforts made by the Dargah administration and the local administration, most of the pilgrims stay with their respective Duwagos (Khuddams of Khwaja SB). Khuddam-e-Khwaja try to make their pilgrims and stay as much comfortable as possible. And for the last 800 years, we are keeping with this tradition earnestly & religiously.

All the houses of Khadims of Khwaja Sb are used for Zaireen accommodation since many centuries, (as per Khanqahi Nizam) free accommodation & food are provided to Zaireen without charging any tariff or fees. Whatever Zaireen offers us in Nazrana is purely voluntary & that Nazrana is spent on us & Zaireen (Pilgrims). Hotel & Dargah Committee guest houses have come into existence only in these last 30 years.

Nazarana :- It is one of the prominent feature of Khanqahi Nizam (Spiritual monasteries).

Pilgrims (Ajmer Sharif)

Ajmer renowned as one of the most pious cities and a venue of religious and cultural harmony all over the world, Ajmer enjoys the distinction of being the prime destination of people who have a staunch faith, whether they are Hindus, the worshipper of Lord Brahma or be they Muslims, coming to visit the mighty court of Huzoor Gharib Nawaz (R.A.) The distance of 444 kms from Dehli and 1043 kms from Bombay are nowhere less or more. Landing at the destination leaves the visitor full of energy and spirit.

The Chaddars (cloth sheets less than 36 meters) that are placed on the Mazar Sharif are afterwards taken away by the Khadims as it is their legal and hereditary right while Ghilaf (which is 36 meters in measurement and can be of satin, brocade or velvet plain or Quranic verses inscribed on it) has a permanent placement and is stored in the Mazar Sharif's Tosha Khana (treasury) before and after every replacement. Both Chaddars and Ghilafs are always available at Dargah Sharif's flower shops.
