New Delhi: The Haji Ali Dargah is a mosque and dargah (tomb) and is one of the most popular religious places in Mumbai.
It is India's most famous and prestigious landmarks situated about 500 yards from the Mumbai shoreline in the middle of the Arabian Sea off Lala Lajpatrai Marg.
The dargah is visited by people of all religions alike and is one of the most recognisable landmarks of Mumbai.
The dargah contains the tomb of Sayed Peer Haji Ali Shah Bukhari and is an exquisite example of Indo-Islamic architecture, associated with legends about doomed lovers.
In the early 19th century the structure was erected on a set of high rising rocks and was given its present day shape after the Trust was legally formed as an entity in 1916.
Haji Ali Dargah is the complex housing the tomb of the Muslim Saint Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari (R.A.).
Along with the tomb, there is also a Masjid at Haji Ali. This monument has been sentinel to the shores of Mumbai since a long time.
