A view of Ziyarat Naqshband Sahab from its yard.

This shrine is named after the well known Bukhara mystic, Khawaja Syed Bha-u-Deen Naqsaband-the founder of Sufi cult. It is one of the important shrines, located amidst a large garden.




It on the road between the Dastagir Sahib and the Jama Masjid. Part of its compound was converted into Martyrs’ Graveyard in 1931. The Shrine is located in Nowhatta

The mystic never visited Kashmir but his followers made a Khankah in his name. In this Khankah, the corpse of Mohi-u-din, one of his descendants lies buried in the mausoleum. This mainly wooden shrine has some fine panels done in the pinjra-kari style. The urs of Naqshaband Sahib is observed on the 3rd day of the Hijri month of Rabi-ul-Awwal.
