A red-coloured chadar (holy cloth) sent by US President Barack Obama was on Monday offered at the shrine of Khawaja Moinuddin Chisty here on the occasion of 803rd Urs of the revered Sufi saint.
Today (Monday) marked the first day of the six-day annual commemoration (Urs) of his death.
The chadar was handed over to Sufi scholar Salman Chishty by US Ambassador to India Richard Verma on Thursday in Delhi.
Chishty, a ‘khadim’, offered the chadar at the Dargah and read out a message sent by the US President.
“Whatever our beliefs, whatever our traditions, we must seek to be instruments of peace, and bringing light where there is darkness, and sowing love where there is hatred,” Mr. Obama said in his message.- PTI
