Data Darbar, also known as the shrine of Hazrat Syed Abul Hassan Bin Usman Bin Ali Al-Hajweri, is one of the oldest and most prominent Sufi shrines in South Asia, located in Lahore, Pakistan. This shrine is dedicated to the Persian Sufi and poet Data Ganj Bakhsh, who is revered for his contributions to Islamic thought and philosophy in the subcontinent. The shrine complex comprises a large mosque, the main tomb, and several smaller tombs, courtyards, and a langar (community kitchen), which provides free meals to thousands of people daily. The ornate architecture features traditional Islamic design with marble domes, minarets, and an imposing gateway. Considered the spiritual heart of the city, the Data Darbar is not only a religious site but also a cultural hub that hosts the annual 'Urs' festival, celebrating the life and teachings of the saint. It attracts a diverse crowd, from pilgrims to tourists, seeking blessings, peace, or simply to experience its tranquil environment.
