Located in Delhi, Nizamuddin Dargah is the dargah (mausoleum) of one of the world's most famous Sufi saints, Nizamuddin Auliya.

Women can pray standing outside the door at the tomb, or clinging to its walls, or sitting in the courtyard reading the Quran. Under no circumstances are they allowed to enter the chamber.

The discrimination against the women seems even more ironic because just across the courtyard, a few yards away from Nizamuddin's grave, lies the tomb of a very interesting woman — Jahan Ara. The eldest child of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal. Princess Jahan Ara composed poetry, commissioned mosques, laid out gardens, and wrote biographies. She also designed Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi's signature street.
