Discussion

Perhaps, this may be because of the secular nature of their teachings. The story goes that Nizamuddin Auliya was highly dejected because of the death of his beloved nephew.

To amuse the Nizam, Khusro struck upon an idea seeing women in yellow saris singing Baisakhi songs. He decided to don a yellow sari and sing Baisakhi songs too. And surely, it worked.

The Book of Nizamuddin Aulia

Since then, this tradition has been kept alive. Nile Green, a professor who has worked extensively on Islamic history, says that until the s the bias against shrine cults remained prevalent among those who believed that only individual mystic writers were eligible to represent the honorable philosophy of Sufism. As a result of which not much work has been done on the shrine cults during the earlier Islamic period. However, the social reality of a literary tradition like Sufism must be acknowledged. When we study the relationship between the living sufi and the dead saint, only then we bring the cultural reality within the folds of this abstraction called Sufism.

Yet, there is a major difference in the way in which history manifests itself through these historical markers. In a unique way, the dargah is always at the centre of a living cultural community.

They, in turn, preserve history in the legends associated with the saint. Partly obscured by the shops selling flowers for offering at the dargah , the place is a picture of serenity.

The atmosphere was electrifying. The function started after asr, or afternoon prayers, when qawwali singers gathered in a lane in the nearby Nizamuddin Basti, a settlement that dates back to the medieval period, opposite the grave of Ghalib, the great poet who lived during the last days of the Mughal empire.

The celebrations have begun at this spot for years. No one could tell me why, but it would not be surprising if it was close to where Khusrau, too, had started his song. Once inside the dargah, the singers took out yellow sheets that they had carried with them, and holding it above their heads, entered the shrine. This is the only occasion on which the qawwali singing is done inside the shrine, where the grave of the saint is located.

On all other, occasions it happens outside, in the courtyard. The ceremonial prayer inside the Dargah was led by the sajjadanasheen, a descendant of the saint who administers the shrine. He placed a yellow sheet and mustard flowers on the saint's grave, and then lit incense sticks, as the qawwals sang: Aaj basant manaley suhangan Aaj basant manaley Anjan manjan karpiya Lambay neher la gaaye Tukya sovay neend maasi So jaagay teray bhaag, suhagan Aaj basant manala Rejoice, oh loved one, rejoice, Spring is here, rejoice.

Don your make-up, put kohl on your eyes, Braid your long tresses, Oh, wake up from your sleep, Your destiny too has woken up It's spring here, rejoice.

Following this, everyone made their way to the courtyard, where, encouraged by the sajjadanasheen, the qawwals sang and rejoiced. They were dressed in yellow to celebrate the occasion when he smiled once more on the eve of spring. Women are not allowed inside the shrine, but other male visitors of any faith can enter. Long history Although Muslims in Delhi celebrate Basant only at the dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, today, Dargah Quli Khan, a senior officer in the entourage of Nizam-ul-Mulk Asafjah from Hyderabad who lived in Delhi between and , describes colourful festivities in many dargahs in his diary, Muraqqa-e-Dehli.

The festivities would start in Qadam Sharif, the dargah of Fatah Khan, the son of Sultan Firoz Shah Tughlaq, in Paharganj, which has now fallen into disrepair but was apparently a bustling place during Khan's time. On the third day, they gathered at the dargah of Nizamuddin Auliya. They feel their dancing and singing will provide peace and pleasure to his soul.
