Marine Drive- Mumbai

Image
  आज जिसे मरीन ड्राइव के नाम से जाना जाता है, उसका असली नाम कुछ और ही है। यह समुद्र तट के साथ एक 3.5 किमी लंबी सड़क है। जिसका वास्तविक नाम सोनापुर है। ड्राइव के साथ चलने वाली सड़क को नेताजी सुभाष चंद्र बोस सड़क कहा जाता है। यह सड़क नरीमन पॉइंट को बाबुलनाथ के मालाबार हिल्स से जोड़ती है। #MarineDrive

 ऐसा कहा जाता है कि हाजी अली बहुत समृद्ध परिवार से थे लेकिन उन्होंने मक्का की यात्रा के दौरान अपनी पूरी दौलत नेक कामों के लिए दान कर दी थी. उसी यात्रा के दौरान उनका देहांत हो गया था. ऐसी मान्यता है कि कि उनका शरीर एक ताबूत में था और वह समुद्र में बहते हुए वापस मुंबई आ गया. यहीं उनकी दरगाह बनवाई गई. Haji Ali Dargah is an iconic landmark in Mumbai, floating in the middle of sea like a revered mirage. This Indo-Islamic pilgrim site is a welcome yet striking sight located on an island near Worli coast in Mumbai. The mosque was built in 19th century and houses the tomb of Saint Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari. Legend has it that Saint Haji Ali died when he went on a pilgrimage to Mecca, but miraculously, his casket floated across the sea and ended up on the shores of Mumbai. This is how this iconic mosque in Mumbai came into existence.
