A 17th
century Dargha with healing power…
Astrologer Dayanidhi
Iyyengar
This
is the most famous of all Chennai Dargahs and attracts people of all faith from
all walks of life.
Mount
Road Dargah is very popular. It attracts hundreds of devotees including local
celebrities every Thursday. Hazrath Syed Moosa Shah Qadri Baghdadi arrived from
Baghdad Shareef in the middle of the 17th Century and lived on this site. It is
believed that he used to have healing powers. When he died, he was buried next
to his house and here his family raised the Dargah Shareef. Since then, people
from different religions and not only Muslims do visit this Dargah based on the
belief that this Dargah has healing power.
It
is the faith in Hazrath Syed Moosa Shah Qadri Baghdadi that draws people of all
faiths to the Dargah Shareef every Thursday, seeking assurances of good health,
answers to their prayers and the blessings of the holy.
You
can easily locate this Dargah as it is well located opposite to LIC building in
Anna Salai.
