Dargah of Hazrat Makhdoom Ali Mahimi in Mahim, Mumbai

When I visited in 2017, the khadim in Dargah of Hazrat Makhdoom Ali Mahimi were letting men and women come into the dargah at intervals of 15 minutes

I went in and really felt blessed.

Makhdoom Ali Mahimi (1372-1431) was born into a family of Arab travellers who had settled down on the island of Mahim, one of the seven islands that later formed the city of Bombay (now Mumbai).

Mahimi is revered by both the Muslims and Hindus.

After his death in 1431, he was buried in Mahim itself. The site later became a dargah (shrine) for the faithful.
