6 Facts about Haji Ali Dargah You Didn’t Know

Haji Ali Dargah covers about 500 yards of the Arabian Sea. Mumbai city is well versed with this place and the royal structure holds immense importance in the lives of each individual. If you belong to a city of temples like Mangalore, you’d surely want to visit this famous dargah in Mumbai.

Here are some interesting facts and the history surrounding this admirable place.

  • It is named after the wealthy saint Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari, the greatest Muslim Saint. To make a pilgrimage to Mecca, he gave all of his fortune and possessions for noble deeds. During his journey to Mecca, he died, and the body in the coffin came back floating to Mumbai. The shrine was built at the same spot. In the year 1431, the mosque was built in his loving memory. The Dargah is about than 587 years old. Due to the impact of visitors and the saline winds, the structure is constantly eroding. Renovations were carried out in the years 1960 and 1964. After which, the upgrade was again started in the year 2008.
  • The tomb is based on the Indo Islamic architecture. It is situated 5oo metres from the coast and is built on a tiny islet. It is located in the vicinity of Worli, at the centre of the Worli Bay.
  • Almost 8000 visitors come to pay respects every day, and the most interesting fact is that not everyone who comes here is a Muslim. The causeway to the Dargah is not bound by any kind of railings. So the access to the spot majorly depends on the tides. During high tides, the causeway gets completely submerged in water making it inaccessible from the city.
  • On 26th July 1949, a storm hit the Mumbai city causing a great amount of destruction, but Haji Ali Dargah stood unharmed. Every building of the city suffered harm and loads of damage. Waves kept crashing the shore, and the people inside the dargah were scared that they would drown. But with the blessings of the saint, the waves bowed the walls without harming a single person in the dargah, and people returned back to their homes without any damage.
  • There is a story called the Pothole Story, which revolves around a miracle which happens every year. During the monsoon time, the city is all covered with potholes and rough roads. But the path of the mosque has never seen any damage for people to reach and pay tribute.
  • A feminist movement called ‘Haji Ali for all’ was launched by Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan and Bhumata Brigade. The movement aimed to secure equal rights to pray. With the persistent efforts of the people, Supreme Court on 26th August ruled that women could enter the sanctum sanctorum.
  • There is lesser known tale surrounding the almighty’s dargah. Once the saint saw a poor woman holding a vessel and crying. She was crying because she had accidentally spilt the oil and was scared that the husband would beat her. To this, Haji Ali asked her to take him to that spot where she had spilt the oil. Upon reaching there, the oil came oozing out from the soil as soon as he jabbed a finger into the soil. The woman was overjoyed and filled her vessel. Later, Haji Ali Shah had a disturbing dream that he injured the Mother Earth. Soon after this, he got ill and asked his followers to put the coffin into the Arabian Sea. Miraculously, his casket just got stuck offshore of Worli where the Dargah was constructed. Haji Ali Dargah is one of the most visited mosques in Mumbai, and the history attached to the place is significant. So it’s your chance to see for real the purity of the place.

Classical Artist Andrea Bocelli Returns with New Album

Fresh from winning his Classic BRIT Icon Award and making a surprise appearance alongside Ed Sheeran at London’s Wembley Stadium, global superstar tenor Andrea Bocelli announces his brand new album Sì, his first recording of all-new material in 14 years, to be released on Decca/Sugar on October 26. The first single “If Only” is unveiled today, and Andrea Bocelli will perform the single on June 21 on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC.

Bocellis’ humble manner belies his international status as one of the worlds’ biggest classical stars, he’s sung for Popes, Presidents and royalty, performed in many of the greatest concert halls and opera houses, and sold 80 million records. Yet his new album sees him return to his roots, with an intimate collection of songs that celebrate love, faith and family. It was recorded at his home in Italy and was produced by the legendary Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Lou Reed).

“I wanted to go back to my memories of being a young man, playing at a piano bar. Obviously since then, I’ve produced lots of albums, sung lots of covers, performed many other things. But at a certain point I said to myself: Maybe the time has come to put my effort into finding new songs. Like starting all over again, as it were, in my career.”

A true international artist, Bocelli recorded his first track from the album in three languages. “If Only” was co-written by Francesco Sartori and the late Lucio Quarantotto, who helped pen one of Bocellis’ biggest hits, “Con Te Partir” (Time To Say Goodbye), which was released over 20 years ago and has become one of the best-selling singles of all time. The album also includes personal tributes to his family and reflects his spirituality.

Andrea Bocelli was born with a gift for music and has gone on to become one of the most renowned singers, performing at major international events including the Olympic Games and the World Cup, as well as his own sell-out arena shows. He has a Golden Globe, 7 Classical BRITs and 7 World Music Awards under his belt, plus a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Drawing millions in with his popular crossover appeal, Bocelli has collaborated with a host of A-list pop stars including Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Lopez, LeAnn Rimes, Celine Dion, Tony Bennett, and many more. He also wowed UK football fans with a performance for Claudio Ranieris’ Premier League-winning Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in 2016.

Bocelli will be back on the road later this year, touring worldwide with major US shows including New York, Las Vegas and LAߣs Hollywood Bowl. There will also be concerts in Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Canada, Ireland and the UK where fans will have the opportunity to hear Bocelliߣs new music.

Sì is an album about heart and soul, positivity and family, melody and magic. And for that reason, Bocelli chose the strong, simple title. “In this historical period we are going through right now, we too often say no. But yes is the word you say when you have your first kiss, when you agree with somebody, when want to make someone feel good. Sugar is the word you say every time things will end well. For a thousand and one reasons, sugar is the expression of a positive, powerful, human word and feeling and emotion.

And so, in his 60th birthday year, Andrea Bocelli is proud to return to where it all began. His uplifting new album  gives us a window into the world of this extraordinary singer and global icon.

ARIAA RELEASES NEW SINGLE “REVIVE” TODAY

NEW YORK, NY (June 15, 2018) — Maintaining a steady stream of irresistible music, buzzing Texas rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer ARIAA shares his new single “Revive” today. Get it HERE via LAVA/Republic Records.

Revive” stands out as yet another woozy banger from the rising artist. Its laidback production leaves space for an infectious hook and hummable verses punctuated by 808s, thick melodies, and lines like, “I can’t feel my face. I can’t feel no way.”

Revive” keeps up his prolific momentum following the release of last week’s AFTER HOURS EP, which included “Lights Off” and “Heaven Wings”. Simultaneously, his breakout “Farsi” ft. T-Pain is nearing 1 million Spotify streams which has received early acclaim courtesy of Billboard, The Fader, Hype Fresh Mag, Daily Loud, and more. Just this week, the song was posted by tastemaker, Dan Bilzerian, via his social media. Watch the viral clip HERE.

Born in Galveston, Texas, ARIAA has been creating music from his parents’ house for the last three years. He gained interest to start a music career after his brother and go-to producer, PersianBeatz, started getting beat placements with big Chicago drill artists such as Chief Keef, Famous Dex, and more.

ONR. RELEASES “LOVE IN SUBURBIA”

June 15, 2018 – Hollywood, CA – Today, enigmatic Scottish newcomer ONR. unveils his brand new single “Love In Suburbia”: LISTEN HERE.

Continuing a hot streak of off-kilter alternative anthems, the critically acclaimed artist delivers dance floor-ready rhythms, uproarious distorted guitars, and a refrain worthy of fists-in-the-air on the track. “Love In Suburbia” shuffles from shimmering synths into a stadium-size chant evocative of the lyrical vision and leaves aftershocks of pop bliss. The song follows his single “AMERICAN GODS, which earned praise from Idolator, Village Voice, Baeble, and more.

This week, ONR. made his U.S. live debut with a sold-out headline show at San Francisco’s Popscene. He is now on tour with Mondo Cozmo for a string of dates on the East Coast. Check out the remaining itinerary below.

Overseas, ONR. is receiving overwhelming support from BBC Music Introducing, a platform which has helped launched the careers of artists like Ed Sheeran, George Ezra, Florence + the Machine, James Bay, Catfish and the Bottlemen, and more. Between performances at The Great Escape and The Biggest Weekend festivals in the UK, ONR. also took part in the Biggest Weekend Fringe Tour which highlights four up-and-coming artists. After his performance in Brighton, BBC wrote, “ONR. turned Brighton’s Paganini Ballroom into an all-out rave.”

Born in Glasgow and raised between the Scottish Highlands and southern Scotland, ONR. spent his formative years idolizing Elton John, Kate Bush, Freddie Mercury, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie and obsessing over George Orwell’s dystopian classic 1984—coincidentally written in Scotland. He found inspiration in the ability of each to shift perspectives and unlock a higher realm and continues to draw inspiration from more modern rock innovators like Arcade Fire, Mondo Cozmo, Interpol and The Killers. Now, the artist’s own manifesto unfolds with his new tracks and forthcoming debut EP coming soon.

LADYGUNN

“ONR.’s ‘AMERICAN GODS’ sounds like a cross between Duran Duran & A-ha, which is obviously a very good thing.”

Idolator

“Arena-ready synth rock that builds until it’s ready to punch–and leaves you breathless once it does.”
