Shrine of Peer Baba

Shrine of Peer Baba

The 'durgah' of Peer Budhan Ali Shah or Peer Baba as it is known, is the shrine which according to popular belief protects the people of this city from mishaps and evil spirits. The shrine is located in the outskirts of Jammu city at a distance of about 8 Kms towards the aerodrome at Satwari. This shrine is very popular among all sections of society. Baba Buddan Shah was born at Talwandi in Punjab, and it is said that another shrine of this Peer is located at Anandpur Sahib in Punjab.

A friend of Guru Gobind Singh, Peer Baba is said to have lived his entire life on milk alone and lived to the age of five hundred. On Thursdays, Hindu and Sikh devotees vastly outnumber their Muslim brothers at this shrine; such is the faith of the people in Peer Baba. Most VIPs make it a point to visit this 'durgah' when they come to Jammu.

Peer Mitha is another famous Muslim shrine in Jammu. Peer Mitha was a contemporary of Ajaib Dev and Ghareeb Nath - both saints were famous for their prophecies and miracles. 'Mitha' means 'the sweet one' and the saint was called Peer Mitha because he would accept nothing more than a pinch of sugar in offering from his devotees.
