Mumbai Police's Annual Tradition at Dargahs

Mumbai Police's Annual Tradition at Dargahs

Every year, the Mumbai Police have a special tradition where they walk to two important places called dargahs with a green cloth as an offering.

This happens during a big festival called Urs.

The police have been doing this for a very long time, even before India became independent.

One of these places, Mahim Dargah, is very old and was a important spiritual place for sailors and traders.

The police used to help manage the big crowds that came to these places, and over time, this help turned into a tradition.

The police also visit another place called Dongri’s Rehman Shah Baba Dargah.

The police officers contribute money to buy special items for these places.

This tradition is more about the history and practical reasons rather than religion.
