Haji Ali Dargah

हाजी अली दर्गाह

Mumbai, India

A white Indo-Islamic shrine on a tiny islet 500 meters from the Mumbai shore, connected by a narrow causeway that disappears at high tide. Built in 1431 CE, the Haji Ali Dargah contains the tomb of a wealthy Muslim merchant who reportedly renounced worldly belongings and set sail for Mecca, dying at sea. Tens of thousands of pilgrims visit weekly.
