Aga Sahib Shrine

Aga Sahib Shrine is an Islamic prayer house in Budgam featuring two domes and a minaret that rises above the surrounding terrain. The complex houses graves of revered religious figures within its walled compound.

The shrine was founded in 1930 as a memorial to a respected religious ancestor. It has remained a spiritually significant place for the local community since its establishment.

The shrine brings Muslims together for prayer and communal celebrations throughout the year. Visitors can observe how the space serves as a meeting point for spiritual and social connections within the local community.

The site sits on elevated terrain, so sturdy footwear helps when walking around the grounds. Early morning or late afternoon visits work best to avoid the heat of the middle of the day.

The minaret stands out sharply against the flat highland landscape of Budgam and is visible from far away. This distinctive profile made the shrine an important landmark for people navigating the region.
