New Delhi: Unknown to many, located within the vast precincts of the Indira Gandhi International Airport, near Terminal-2, is the ‘Peer Baba ki Dargah’. The resting place of two Sufi saints, the shrine is held in high esteem and reverence by a large number of employees working at the Delhi airport. The shrine has been there for as long as old employees can remember and over time has acquired an almost cult status.
People throng to the shrine to pay reverence, make a mannat (wish), offer prayers for the well-being of near and dear ones, safety of the air travellers or just spend a quiet moment with the Almighty.
The mazaar is open to the public on Thursdays, and the Airports Authority of India provides a free bus from the Cargo Complex T-2 to the shrine between 2 pm -5 pm. This is because Thursday is considered to be the Jumme Raat, or a day considered
to be auspicious for the people visiting the shrine and praying there.
