Haji Ali : Reconstruction of Haji Ali dargah
posted in Dargah, hajiali |Four years after plans were first made to demolish and reconstruct Haji Ali dargah, one of most prominent shrines and landmarks of Mumbai, the project has got the final set of permissions from the government.
With the commencement certificate to start work in hand, the first step will be to demolish the dilapidated structure. Though the shrine of Pir Haji Ali Shah Baba dates back to the 14th century, the present structure nestled like a pearl in the sea, was constructed a little over a hundred years ago. But with constant erosion the building has become dilapidated, leading to concerns over safety.
