Hope

A Women offers Nimaz in famous shrine of Hazrat Peer Dastgeer Sahib (RA) at Srinagar, Kashmir, India. Muslims in Kashmir have high regard of these shrines and they throng to the shrines on a particular day every week and also on a particular date every month for prayers. Dastgir Sahib dargah situated in Srinagar in the Kashmir Valley. Communal harmony and syncretism are the features of this mosque for many centuries. Adorned with colourful panels that are carved intricately and the Aytal Kursi, which hang at the door, the mosque is replete with stories of a number of families, their hopes and sufferings diminished and completely abolished by just praying to the Dastgir Sahib and asking for his blessings.
