Dargah Hazrat Sidi Syed Shah’s Jali

                                     An amalgamation of two cultures!

     This intricate windows' latticework in sandstone, epitomizes the harmony between the Hindu and Islamic culture by incorporating icons of both the religions in a splendid work of craftsmanship. The tree unique to Hinduism and the date palm symbolic of the Islamic religion are found peacefully coexisting side by side.

     We viewed this mosque from outside, just for some minutes in the course of our City Tour. But the semicircular windows of this mosque, with this unique symbolism of ‘the tree of life’ sculpted painstakingly in the form of the ‘jali’ captured our hearts.
