Re: Funerals
Sufi dargahs are always centre of such activities. some people call it Urs and masses call it mela (gathering). Pretty sure that these are highly influence by sub-continents culture (which now is quoted as Hindu culture all way without realising that culture relates to land and its environment and not religion).
Besides these annual gatherings (mela/urs), sufi dargahs are subject to change of chadar everyday. There remains only one permanent chadar on qalandar’s mazar in Sehwan sharif which is changed annually on Urs occasion. All other chadars are removed early in morning and given to gaddi nasheen, who either give that as a gift to ministers, pirs, mirs visiting dargah or re-sale that to the shop keepers and the show goes on :cobra:
besides that in Qaladar’s case, they change a taaj made of fresh leaves and local flowers everyday. There is a tradition there according to which each days taaj is sent to small dargah around qalandar’s tomb which include his favorite mureeds like Bodlo Bahar. There was this local saint Chutto umrani who was contemporary of Qalandar Shahbaz and died after Qalndar, so he made a will that old taajs should from Qalndar’s mazar should not be sent to his mazar
