Qawwali in Delhi

Thursday qawwali at Nizamuddin

Every Thursday, after the evening prayer, qawwals sing in the courtyard of the shrine of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya (1236–1325), the Sufi master whose order shaped devotional music across the subcontinent. Entry is free and open to every faith. People sit packed on the floor, and by the end of the evening the singing has spread to everyone.

Thursday evening, after maghrib (roughly 18:00–21:00). The shrine itself is open daily from early morning to late night.
