The Tomb of Shah Jamal is the tomb of Sufi Saint Baba Shah Jamal. It is located in the city of Lahore - the capital of Punjab, Pakistan. There is a masjid built around the tomb which incorporates a graveyard. At the foot of the stairs leading up to the tomb, there is a regular gathering of pilgrims, who come every Thursday night and Friday morning, following a tradition that has been going on for hundreds of years. Dhol is played with devotees (dervish or fakir) dancing in a trance also known as ''dhamaal''. The famous Pappu Sain is the central attraction performs on the dhol. This performance, every Thursday night/ Friday morning, is attended by people from all walks of life - students, government officials, musicians both domestic and international, models, common folk - in short everyone. The environment is very friendly and safe. It is encouraged that people wear simple and plain clothes and come well covered in respect for the shrine. Many a times Pappu Sain has stopped his performance angry at the fact that people have forgotten the reason for coming to the shrine. The tomb is more than a simple shrine, providing shelter, food and solace from the vagaries of everyday life. ==External links== * (''Pappu Saeen beats the drum for Shah Jamal'' ), Daily Times (May 3, 2006) * (''Devotees whirl to dhol at Baba Jamal’s Urs'' ), Khaleej Times (May 5, 2006). * (''Gonga Saeen & Mithu Saeen beats the drum for Baba Shah Jamal, Photo by Yasuo Osakabe'' ), Photographer, Yasuo Oaskabe 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tomb of Shah Jamal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
