Dawoodi Bohras, Mazar E Maisaheba, also known as Hajani Dargah, is situated behind Saifee Villa (Gandhi Memorial Museum) at Dandi (Gujarat). Upon request, Shabbir, the manager of the trust, narrated the History of Mazar E Maisaheba (Hajani Dargah) as follows:

About 500-550 years ago, Hajani Bibi and her daughter, Fatima Bibi, were returning via ship from Mecca (Saudi Arabia) after attending Hajj.

Unfortunately, the ship sank in the Arabian Sea due to a storm. Nobody survived but Hajani Bibi and her daughter, Fatima Bibi’s body was found on the shore of Dandi beach. This is the Mazar/Dargah of them.

There are three more tombs. One is of Ratan Aai, who died while going to Mumbai approx. 200 years ago, and two more caretakers.

During Urs, there is a festival. There is a provision of accommodation and food also but only for Dawoodi Bohras.

Shabbir asked me if I wished to have food. Thank you – said I.
