Sound of Music/Sacred Space

Musicians performing Kawali and attentive listeners at Nizamuddin Dargah, Delhi. The dargah or mausoleum is considered the resting place of one of the most famous Sufi  saints, Nizamuddin Aruliya (1238-1325). The sound, color and vibrancy of the crowded place is interesting at a time when many religious spaces are being sanitized by powerful puritanical orders, removing in the process numerous local traditions and practices.
