Dress and conduct

Modest, loose-fitting clothing is appropriate for everyone. Women are expected to cover their heads; carrying a dupatta or scarf is advisable. Speak softly near the mausoleum and give priority to people offering prayers.

Shoes and belongings

Footwear is removed before stepping onto the marble floors. Use the official shoe stands and keep your token safe. Keep valuables to a minimum, as crowds are dense at peak times.

Prayer times

The mosque within the complex holds congregational prayers. During the five daily prayers, movement around the courtyard slows; wait for the prayer to end before moving through prayer rows.

Donations

Give only into official, sealed donation boxes administered by the Auqaf Department, and decline unsolicited requests for money on behalf of the shrine.

Modest Dress & Head Covering

Men should wear long trousers or shalwar kameez. Women are respectfully requested to dress in loose-fitting clothing and ensure their heads are covered with a scarf or dupatta before entering the compound.

Shoe Stand Token Safety

Do not carry shoes into the marble courtyard. Deposit your footwear with the official Joota Ghar attendant and keep the metal or plastic token in a secure pocket for collection.

Quiet Decorum & Photography

Switch mobile devices to silent mode upon entering. Commercial videography or obstructive photography is prohibited. Never photograph female devotees in prayer or private meditation corridors.

Auqaf Sealed Donation Boxes

Avoid giving cash to unverified individuals roaming outside the gates. Place all offerings directly into the official, padlocked, government Auqaf donation boxes located inside the main courtyard.
