Bareilly Sharif Dargah is a Dargah (shrine) or mausoleum of Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi, a 19th-century islamic scholar who founded the Barelvi movement. It is located in Bareilly district in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India.[1]

The Dome of the Dargah was designed by Shah Mehmood Jaan Qadri with the use of Matchsticks.[2]

Urs E Mubarak

In 2014 during the observation of the death anniversary of Ahmed Raza Khan (Urs-e-Razvi) at the Dargah-e-Ala Hazrat, Muslim clerics condemned the terrorism practiced by the Taliban and the ideology of the Wahhabi sect.[3] Although the Dargah was once the main site for the Urs-e-Razavi, the official Urs is also now observed in a dozen countries. This is due to the large crowds and the arrival of many scholars.[4]
