About HajiAli:

Haji Ali Dargah, was constructed over 500 years ago in honour of Saint Pir Syed Haji Ali Shah Bukhari (R.A) who came to Mumbai to spread Islam. Set 500 yards into the sea, the tomb can be reached via a walkway built out from the mainland.

The tomb itself is covered by a rich red and green ‘chaddar’ and is set on an exquisite silver frame engraved with all the ninety nine names of Allah. Visitors to the Dargah can also enjoy the panoramic view of the surrounding sea and mainland.

Visitors can visit the Dargah throughout the day except for certain times when the walkway is submerged due to either high tides or the monsoons. This walkway is actually a recent addition, as earlier access to the Dargah was via stepping stones dragged into the sea.
