Hindus, Muslims pray under same roof at Alwar's integrated shrine

The shrine is the testimony to communal harmony. The devotees of both faiths  prey in  compound. The integrated shrine contains  Sayyed Darbar and Sankat Mochan Vir Hanuman Mandir. It is one of the rare examples peaceful coexistence of Hinduism and Islam in India. There is not single wall which separates two religious structures. The devotees from two faiths say that the scent of burning of loban at the `roshni-ki-rasm', at the dargah, and of camphor and wicks soaked in ghee from the maha aarti in temple, makes a unique divine atmosphere. Especially on Thursdays, one can hear bhajan and qawallis together. The shrine compound has flags in green and saffron with a 30-metre high Tricolour on the hill furling together. What’s more, the main entrance to the compound is through the temple's gate.  All the devotees pray here with their folded hands and also held their forehead high for tika. Further, while devotees pass towards the dargah, their heads are covered while they bend to pay respect. Remarkably, the offerings from devotees at both shrines come from a common thali. This one shrine is certainly where one feels that Almighty is indeed One!
