| History / इतिहास | |
| Brief History / संक्षिप्त इतिहास | The small shrine contains the grave of a Muslim saint, Noor shah saheb. Barring for the fact that the saint was renowned for his piety, nothing could be ascertained about his life or period. Apparently a small nondescript structure existed on the site which was rebuilt in the 1980 s. |

Shrines and khanqahs associated with Sufis, saints, preachers are an important part of the social life of the Muslim community of Kashmir.

A number of shrines and khanqahs are located in Anantnag town including the Shrine of Noor saheb is one such shrine looked upon with deep reverence by the local community.
