The tomb of Alamdar-e-Kashmir is located 28 km in south-west of Srinagar at Chrar-e-Sharif in Budgam district. The shrine on the burial site was constructed by the then ruler of Kashmir Zain-ul-Abideen. Sheikh Noor-ud-din was born in Kaimoh and his ancestors belonged to Kishtwar. He was a pious soul and travelled throughout Kashmir to spread the message of his religion. He meditated for 12 years inside a cave. Four centuries after his death the Afghan governor, Atta Mohd. Khan issued coins in his name. The shrine alongwith Khanqah was gutted in a devatating fire in 1995. A new shrine is planned to be constructed in it's place. |
