About Piran Kaliyar Sharif

Piran Kaliyar Sharif is a revered 13th century Sufi dargah shrine dedicated to Hazrat Alauddin Ali Ahmed Sabir Kalyari, situated in Kaliyar village on the southern banks of the Upper Ganga Canal, roughly 7 kilometers from Roorkee in Uttarakhand. Rebuilt in 1522 by Ibrahim Lodi, this celebrated pilgrimage site is a symbol of communal harmony, drawing hundreds of thousands of Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh devotees seeking spiritual healing and fulfillment of wishes.

Piran Kaliyar Sharif in Roorkee, Uttarakhand

Hazrat Sabir Pak, a direct maternal nephew and spiritual successor of the revered Sufi mystic Baba Farid Ganjshakar of the Chishti Sabiri order, lived an austere life of profound meditation and spiritual ecstasy here. Devotees tie red sacred threads across marble jaali screens, offer velvet green chaadars, and light incense sticks around the inner mazar. Soul stirring evening Qawwali sessions fill the open courtyard with mystical devotional fervor.

Truth is, listening to evocative Sufi kalam sung under the illuminated Mughal dome while rosewater scents drift through the evening air is deeply moving. It remains one of the most spiritually powerful Sufi sanctuaries in northern Uttarakhand.
