| The Chilla (cave of Spiritual Retreat) of Khawaja Muinuddin Hasan Chishti |
| About half a mile from the main shrine of Hazrat Khawaja Muinuddin Hasan Chishti is a large hill that overlooks the city from one side, and the artificial lake of Ana Sagar constructed by Mughal Emperors on the other. On this hill is situated the Chilla or place of spiritual retreat of Khawaja Muinuddin Hasan Chishti. It is a small cave whose entrance requires one to duck one's head to enter. It is a venerated spot visited by the pilgrims with great respect. In the picture above Jamiluddin Morris Zahuri (author of the web site) is seen offering fatiha (a kind of prayer). |
