Mausoleum of Naqi Ali Shah and Hazrat Ali Shah perfect example of interfaith harmony

Bareilly, Feb 24 (ANI): The city of Bareilly is located in India's northern state of Uttar Pradesh. It is known for its rich culture and heritage, especially the Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb or the culture of religious harmony. And presenting a perfect example of this ethos is the mausoleums of Naqi Ali Shah and his son, Hazrat Ali Shah. Devotees irrespective of their caste visit both the mausoleum, as they believe that the saints preached communal harmony and brotherhood in their entire life. All devotees who visit the shrine participate equally in various activities here. The mausoleum is respected by one and all, as it is believed that all prayers and wishes are answered here. For centuries people have coexisted peacefully in this country and religion has never come in the way of good relations between different communities. And, the mausoleum of Naqi Ali and Hazrat Ali is a perfect example of this fact.
