4.7/5 Rating

Ziarat Chhotay Sahib, located in the village of Sakhi Maidan near Mendhar town, stands as a profound symbol of spiritual harmony and cultural unity in Jammu and Kashmir. Situated just five kilometers from the Line of Control, this revered Muslim shrine is dedicated to the eminent Sufi saint, Sakhi Peer Chhota Shah. The site radiates a deeply peaceful and holy atmosphere, acting as a spiritual beacon that transcends religious boundaries. Every year, it brings together a diverse tapestry of local communities, drawing large numbers of Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs who come side by side to pay their respects and seek the saint's blessings.

The spiritual vibrancy of the shrine reaches its peak during the annual Urs festival, a grand three-day celebration filled with intense devotion and community prayers. Pilgrims from all across India and various parts of the world journey to this sacred spot to participate in the traditional rituals and experience the unique spiritual energy of the gathering. Beyond its religious significance, the shrine plays a vital role in fostering peace and communal brotherhood in a sensitive border region. Its enduring legacy of inclusivity continues to make it one of the most visited and deeply respected pilgrimage destinations in the entire state.
