We kick started the very
same day by visiting the Dargah's in its premises.
A little bit of history
for starters. Mohsin is well versed with the history of this place. So he was both
my guide and historian on this journey.
As per him, this shrine
of Hussain Tekri was built by the Nawab of Jaora, Mohammad Iftikhar Ali Khan
Bahadur, in the 19th century, situated on the outskirts of Jaora town in the
Ratlam district of Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh, India.
The Nawab was buried in
the same graveyard where Hussain Tekri was built.
Thousands of people from
all over the world visit these shrines.
He introduced me to a term called
"Hajri", Hajri means to pay a visit. People who are mentally sick
visit this place in large numbers to relieve themselves from being possessed by
Jinns, Ghosts and Demons. The best thing is that there is no human involved
here. These demon creatures have long dialogue with the Deities in the shrines,
and finally surrender and leave the bodies of the victims.
