There are so many, and at prayer times their songs intermingle creating a symphony like nothing heard in any other part of India until now. Among all the mosques, the Hazratbal mosque stands out not for its charm, but for its importance, as it houses a hair from the beard of the Prophet Mohammed as a relic.
