Draft:Urs E Hashmi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: This can be better covered in the Hashim Peer Dastagir article; there is no need to add the first paragraph of this draft there as it is already covered in the Urs article. At present, I do not see any significant independent coverage for the festival; there is only one source from The Hindu, which is not enough to warrant a separate article.

Urs (from Arabic: عرس ‘Urs) or Urus (literal meaning wedding),[1] is the death anniversary of a Sufi saint, usually held at the saint's dargah (shrine or tomb). In most Sufi orders such as Naqshbandiyyah, Suhrawardiyya, Chishtiyya, Qadiriyya, etc. the concept of Urs exists and is celebrated with enthusiasm.
