Nagore Dargah is a dargah built over the tomb of the Sufi saint Shahul Hameed. It is located in Nagore, a coastal town in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. There are five minarets in the dargah, with the Hindu Maratha ruler of Thanjavur Pratap Singh (1739–1763 CE), building the tallest minaret. The dargah is a major pilgrimage centre that attracts pilgrims from both Islam and Hinduism, symbolizing peaceful coexistence between the two religions.
