Shrine of Hazrat Bari Imam Sarkar, Religious shrine in Nurpur Shahan, Pakistan
The shrine features a central bulbous dome with Islamic architectural elements, decorated tile work, and an open courtyard surrounded by gates with Quranic calligraphy.
Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb commissioned the initial shrine construction in the 17th century, which later underwent modifications during British colonial rule and recent governmental renovations.
The shrine serves as a spiritual center where devotees participate in daily rituals, receive free meals from the community kitchen, and gather for religious contemplation.
The main chamber currently operates under restricted access protocols, while visitors can explore the surrounding complex and participate in regular prayer sessions.
A cave named Loay Dandi in the nearby Margalla Hills marks the meditation spot of Bari Imam, accessible through a mountain trail.
