Khawja Maqsood is said to have been associated with Baba Dawood Khaki and Baba Hardi Reshi two prominent sufi saints of the 16th century. Khawja Maqsood passed away in 1021AH 1612AD and was buried in Pampore in vicinity of the khanqah. The precinct in addition to the khanqah also contains the shrine of the saint and a mosque. |
| Local / Traditional description associated with Built Heritage / Site निर्मित धरोहर / स्थल से सम्बंधित स्थानीय/ परम्परागत विवरण |
The town of Pampore has remained a major centre of trade, culture and politics. Also known as land of red gold for its open down clayey karewa soil, home to saffron cultivation for centuries. Saffron cultivation was and still is the prime occupation of the town. The town has given two great Kashmiri poetesses to the valley namely Lala Ded and Habba Khatoon and many other spiritual personalities and hermits. Pampores location at Srinagars doorstep made it witness various political events. This explains the sociological diversity of the town and the probable locale for the first Gandhian organization in the valley of Khadi Ashram. |
