Buses from Belgaum
December 30, 2009 4:13 am TravelThe temple atop the hill is centuries old, but the present shrine is of later origin. Near Nasim Bagh, on the western shores of the Dal, it is one of the most sacred Muslim shrines where we reach Buses from Belgaum. In this mosque is preserved a hair from the beard of Prophet Mohammad. This holy relic was brought here by Khwaja Noor-ud-din in 1700A.D. from Bijapur (Karnataka). Thousands congregate here to have a ‘Deedar’ of the holy relic on ten specific dates of the year. The grand mosque built by Shah Jahan, is a very fine example of Mughal and Kashmiri architectural synthesis.
