Khwaja Garib Nawaz Foundation UK follows a path shaped by the blessings of Ajmer Sharif Dargah India.
In Indian kitchen's Khwaja Garib Nawaz Ajmer Sharif Degh, a traditional cooking vessel, has a special position. Typically crafted in heavy thick metal, the degh allows for retention of heat which makes it a great vessel for slow cooking.
This is a special pot that is usually used for cooking rich food preparations such as biryani, pulao, and even traditional dessert(s) like kheer.
The way a degh is crafted is such that it retains the flavours and thus makes a dish taste better than if used in modern cooking utensils.
In addition to practical use, a degh is symbolically very important too. Akara is often prepared for community events, when large amounts of food are required for a celebratory, festival or feast.
Ajmer Dargah Degh
The degh is not just a vessel for cooking; it embodies togetherness, with family and friends gathering to partake in meals prepared with love and traditional recipes.
People who cannot travel immediately still like to stay connected. They can use the ajmer sharif dargah contact number +918529671277 to ask about prayers or spiritual help. A warm response allows them to feel closer to the blessed place even from far away, bringing comfort during difficult moments.
