Srinagar is not just a city of lakes and gardens visited by millions of tourists every year. It’s also famous as the seat of devotion and learning due to its transcendental Sufi shrines that had inspired many generations. Most of these shrines situated in the old city were built by medieval rulers after getting influenced by the Sufi masters.
Historians believe that some prominent religious scholars and Sufis from Central Asia took refuge in Kashmir during the Sultanate era to escape persecution by outside rulers during the invasion and they chose Kashmir for its peaceful environment.
