Tucked away in the lanes of Nampally are dargahs which are symbolic of the Sufi culture that have been a part of the city's past since time immemorial. These centres daw people from all faiths who come in with a prayer and hope to find what they are seeking, be it peace or prosperity.
On this walk, we explore the dargahs of Hazrat Shah Khamosh, Hazrat Yousufain and walk through the old bazaars and lanes that lead up to them.
The walk would end at the Qawwali that is performed every thursday evening at Dargah Yousufain, and the participants welcome to stay back and attend the same.
