The dargah on the hillock behind the Taj Mahal, Agra

SufiThursdays

The story goes that the jinns were not letting the Taj Mahal be built, so Shah Jahan called Sheikh Ahmed Bukhari from Bukhara.
He came with his three brothers & they recited the verses of the Quran on each brick & that’s how it was built.
He lies buried on a hillock behind the Taj which has an amazing view of the mausoleum.
His urs is celebrated on the same day as that of Shah Jahan
