The love songs of Khusra

Nizamuddin was a Sufi Master and his lover Khusra wrote devotional songs to praise him. Each evening in Nizamuddin West at the temple members of Nizamuddin's family, relatives of his sisters progeny gather to sing the songs of their ancestors lover and to dispense advice to those who petition them. Prayers for love and acceptance are chanted around the tombs of both Nizamuddin and Khusra.
Crowds sit and listen to the songs, gather together in harmonious community and celebrate life and love through prayer...

This is where Cushla and I headed last night, into the crowds and smells of 'old' India and it was so good.
