Dastgeer Sahib, Sufi shrine in Khanyar, Srinagar, India
The wooden shrine features traditional Khatamband ceilings with crystal chandeliers and walls decorated with detailed Papier-mâché artistry throughout its interior spaces.
Established in 1806 when an Afghan merchant brought a sacred hair strand of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani, the shrine underwent substantial expansion in 1877 by Khwaja Sanaullah Shawl.
The shrine preserves an ancient Quran believed to be written in 6th-century Kufi script by Ali Ibn Abi Talib, making it a center of Islamic heritage.
Located in Khanyar area, the shrine opens daily from 4:30 AM to 10:00 PM, welcoming both devotees and visitors interested in religious architecture.
Despite Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani never visiting Kashmir, his relics stored in a fireproof vault survived a major fire in 2012 that damaged the main structure.
