With a bottle green border all around the building, it makes an impressive picture. The dargah is named after Hazrat Khwaja Karam Ali Shah whose dargah is placed at the center. The main prayer hall forbids women from entering but they can sit on the cool marble outside and pray. Surrounding the main dargah are several other dargahs of the descendents some of them being the son of Hazrat Khwaja Karam Ali Shah ? Hazrat Khwaja Muaajis Shah, Hazrat Khwaja Kutub Shah, Hazrat Khwaja Lutuf Shah and others. The dargah sees a lot of visitors during Thursdays and Sundays, during Urus, a mela that is held every year, devotees in huge numbers flock the dargah. At the time of Urus, the Nishaan is carried out where a green and red colored flag is hoisted at the top point of the dargah and after three days the sandal sharif is performed wherein a sandal paste is put on the dargah. Daily, one can hear the Nagara ? beating of drums during the morning and evening time. This is a traditional way of calling the people to come and pray. (Reference by NMTV)
