A large Deg used for
preparing free food
(Langar) for the
people attending the
Urs and for the poor.
A fire is lit
underneath to cook
vast amounts of
food. It is situated
behind the Shrine of
Nawob Gudri Shah
Baba on the Chilla
Sharif, a hill
overlooking the
beautiful Ana Sagar
lake constructed by

Emperors. In the
shrine of Khawaja
Muinuddin Hasan
Chishti there are two
very much larger
Degs that feed the
half million or so
people who attend
the Urs of the great
saint every year.
