Faith cutting across religious boundaries

Bangalore, Nov 25 (ANI): Bangalore situated in India’s southern state of Karnataka is one of the fastest growing cities of India. But rapid modernization has not in any way affected the traditional good relations between people of different communities. The mausoleum of Hazrat Khawaja Mehboob Ali Shah Chishti is an example of this fact. It attracts a large number of devotees from different communities, who gather here for the saint’s blessings. It is believed that the saint showers his blessings on people of communities alike, who visit the mausoleum. Devotees gather in large numbers under one roof to pay respect to the saint. Promoting the message of love and peace to mankind, the shrine is more than just a place of worship…it is a symbol of harmony between communities, which is a hallmark of the Indian society.
