To get to the tomb of Hazrat Nizam ud-Din Auliya, a master of Indian Sufism (1238-1325), you’ll have to make your way along a narrow, busy narrow street in the heart of the picturesque Muslim district, which is lined with restaurants and flower-petal stalls and echoes to the sound of Sufi music. In front of the holy man’s tomb, which was built in 1562 (more than two centuries after his death), numerous worshippers prostrate themselves to the sound of qawwal chants in order to obtain favours from Allah.
