Langer & niaz

Each month, we joyously celebrate the sacred festival of Chatti Sharif, aligned with the lunar cycle. On the sixth night of every lunar month, the uplifting and spiritually charged ceremonies of Fateha Chhatti Sharif are held with devotion before Begami Dalan, nestled within the blessed courtyard of Ahata-e-Noor. Attendees gather in a state of reverence, fully aware of the solemnity, sanctity, and immense blessings of the occasion.

At the heart of the langar tradition stand the two revered Degs (Cauldrons) — the Big Deg and the Small Deg. The majestic Big Deg, gifted by Emperor Akbar, has the divine capacity to cook nearly 4800 kg of food in a single preparation. Approximately INR 2,00,000 is required for one-time cooking. The Small Deg, presented by Emperor Jahangir, prepares 2400 kg of sacred food at once, with a cost of nearly INR 1,30,000. Prices may vary slightly due to inflation.

The entire sacred cooking process is carried out by the devoted Khadims of the Dargah. If you wish to sponsor a Deg at any time of the year — whether in your presence, absence, or on behalf of someone else — we kindly ask that you inform us in advance. We will ensure the cooking and distribution is carried out as per your Niyaz (intention), and you will receive a proper receipt and documentation of Deg offering.

Among the most cherished offerings is the 20kg Biryani Rice Deg, a rich and flavorful blend of premium rice, aromatic spices, and tender mutton. This sacred meal is immensely popular among devotees. Those wishing to serve others and receive divine blessings may take part in this powerful Sufi act of service. Ajmer Sharif continues to be a sacred space where people of every caste, creed, and community sit together in unity and peace — sharing the blessings of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A.).

We extend a heartfelt invitation to spiritual seekers across the globe to participate in the Chatti Sharif period — a time of unity, remembrance, and boundless love for Hazrat Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A.). The Niyaz of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (R.A.) is offered on the 6th lunar night each month. Langar and Niyaz are conducted faithfully by our community, with each person contributing according to their capacity.

For those seeking lighter offerings, the 20kg Tahari Veg Deg — a pure and easily digestible rice dish with vegetables — is also prepared with love and reverence.

During sacred occasions like Ramzan, Muharram, and the Annual Urs, we graciously arrange Langar and Niyaz upon request for pilgrims and devotees. This holy invitation is open to everyone, regardless of religion, caste, gender, or background.

We warmly welcome you and your family to partake in this blessed tradition of Chatti Sharif. Whether you join us in person or contribute from afar, your presence and support add to the sacred atmosphere that surrounds the blessed Dargah of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A.). Each year, countless hearts from around the world unite here in celebration, prayer, and divine love.
