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 dargah post.

Bakhtiyar Kaki’s tomb

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

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

Makeshift marketplace at the western entrance to the dargah

Food being prepared for pilgrims and visitors to the dargah, in front of the Zafar Mahal gateway
