Lal Shahbaz Qalandar was a Sufi saint, philosopher, poet who preached love and tolerance for people of all religions, regardless of ethnicity, creed, gender or caste.

His life was a testament of these words from the 13th-century Sufi poet Rumi: The mosque that is built in the hearts of the saints is the place of worship for all, for God dwells there.

Thousands of devotees from across the country - from all religious backgrounds - Sunni, Shia, Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Parsi come to pay homage to Qalandar's shrine every Thursday and participate in dhamaal - ecstatic devotional dance.
Qalandar's urs, or death anniversary celebration, brings more than half a million pilgrims to the shrine from all ov­er Pakistan.

What makes this site unique from any other shrines or mosques is that no devotee is compartmentalized into any particular religion. There are no labels. It is a space where different religious identities are embraced.
