Nagore Dargah

The Nagore Dargah, also known as the Nagore Dargah Shareef, the Syed Shahul Hamid Dargah, or the Nagore Andavar Dargah, is a dargah complex built over the tomb of the Sufi saint Nagore Syed Abdul Qadir Shahul Hamid, located in Nagore, a coastal town in the Nagapattinam district of the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Shahul Hamid is believed to have performed many miracles in Nagore, and cured the physical affliction of king Achuthappa Nayak, a 16th-century Hindu ruler of Thanjavur. He is locally referred to as Nagore Andavar, meaning the "Ruler of Nagore". Nagore Dargah as it stands now, is believed to have been built by ardent devotees of Shahul Hamid, with major contribution from Hindus. There are five minarets in the dargah, with the Hindu Maratha ruler of Thanjavur Pratap Singh (1739–1763 CE), building the tallest minaret. The dargah is a major pilgrimage centre that attracts pilgrims from both sufi Islam and Hinduism, symbolizing peaceful coexistence between the two religions. The most prominent event celebrated at Nagore Dargah is the Kanduri festival (Urus Mubarak), a fourteen-day commemoration of the death anniversary of Shahul Hamid.
