Dargah-e-Ala Hazrat is Dargah (tomb) of Ahmed Raza Khan (1856–1921), a 19th-century Ahle Sunnat, who is known for his staunch opposition of Wahhabis in India. The Dargah is in Bareilly, a city in Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.[1][2][3] The dome of the Dargah was designed by Hazrat Allama Shah Mehmood Jaan Qadri with the use of matchsticks [4]

In 2014 during the observation of death anniversary of Ahmed Raza Khan (Urs-e-Razvi) at the Dargah-e-Ala Hazrat, Muslim clerics condemned the terrorism practiced by the Taliban and the ideology of the Wahhabi sect.[5]

Although the Dargah was once the main site for the Urs-e-Razavi, the official Urs is also now observed in a dozen countries. This is due to the large crowds and the arrival of many scholars.[6]

Location

Dargah-E-Ala Hazrat is situated in Karolan in the district of Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh and it has good connectivity with the other towns of the district and the state.
