Resturants Near Powa Mecca
Hajo, Assam, India
Powa Mecca is a revered Muslim pilgrimage site situated atop the Garurachal Hill in Hajo, Assam. The name itself, where 'Powa' (or 'Poa') translates to one-fourth in Assamese, signifies its spiritual importance: it is widely believed that offering prayers here confers one-fourth of the spiritual mer it obtained from a pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. This sanctity stems from the belief that the mosque was constructed using soil brought directly from Mecca. The site is primarily the burial place (tomb) of the revered Muslim preacher, Pir Giasuddin Auliya, who is credited as the pioneer of Islam in this region of Northeast India. The present mosque structure was built in 1657 AD by Mir Lutfullah-i-Shiraji (or Sujauddin Mohammed Shah in some accounts) during the reign of the famous Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The location directly overlooks the famous Hayagriva Madhava Temple, emphasizing Hajo's unique confluence of different faiths—Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam—in one spiritual town. It's a place where devotees from all communities visit, highlighting the spirit of communal harmony prevalent in Assam. The mosque's historical significance and its association with Pir Giasuddin Auliya make it a focal point for Muslim pilgrims across Assam and the entire region, especially during religious festivals and the full moon day of the Assamese month of Jaistha when Hindu pilgrims also visit the nearby temples. The tranquility and the historical narrative associated with the soil of Mecca make it an essential stop for both religious seekers and history enthusiasts exploring Hajo.
