Thursday Afternoon at Bakhtiyar Kaki's Dargah

I visited Bakhtiyar Kaki's dargah in Mehrauli on a Thursday, the busiest day at Sufi shrines, and here are a few images of the scenes and crowds, to complement the images and descriptions in the main post below.

Bakhtiyar Kaki's tomb


Women are not allowed into the courtyard of Kaki's tomb, and can only view the tomb through this screen


The large dargah complex has many courtyards and open spaces, some crowded and some more leisurely, like this one
