Islam & the Muslim Community in Srinagar

Hazratbal Shrine – houses a relic believed to be hair of the Prophet ο·Ί

Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu & Kashmir, is India's most predominantly Muslim city and one of the most spiritually significant in the subcontinent. Islam reached Kashmir in the 14th century through the Sufi saint Mir Syed Ali Hamadani and became deeply embedded in the region's culture, weaving together Persian mysticism with Kashmiri identity. The Hazratbal Shrine on Dal Lake and the Jamia Masjid in the old city are the beating heart of Islamic life in the Valley. Kashmir's distinct form of Sufism β€” Rishi tradition β€” has shaped centuries of tolerance, devotion, and poetry.
