Dargah Baba Maqdam Pir, Barwala

The complex known as the Dargah of Baba Maqdam Pir is situated to the east of the present village, and consists of two courtyards, one to the south and another to the north. While the complex is still regarded as a shrine, and visited by remaining Muslims of the village, the buildings within the enclosures have remained for a long time without attention and are now in a dilapidated state. To the south of this court is a building which may have been used as a sanatorium, but has now been deserted. The tomb of Baba Maqdam Pir is situated to the north of the courtyard. It is a simple grave and some earlier structures, including part of a column and the detached inscription of the time of Sultan Kayqubad are found to the north of the grave. The mosque is one of the oldest structures of the complex and dates probably from the Mughal period. Near the Dargah and in the fields to its north-east are situated a number of small square domed chambers situated in a row near the old well.
