It is said that the only food which Hazrat
Khwaja Moinuddin Hassan Chishty R.A.A.
(peace to his soul) used to have was a
morsel of crushed barley i.e. Dalia. So this
Dalia is cooked in his kitchen and
distributed free without any discrimination
among all those that are present at that
time.
The langar is daily cooked and distributed
free once in the morning Faiar Prayer and
for the second time after Asar Prayer.
The langar Khana is situated just near the
deg to the left on way to the tomb of the
Saint.
The story goes that Emperor Akbar, like any
other pilgrim devotee, once went to the
langar Khana in disguise, to take food.
Providentially, it was raining heavily, and
Akbar unfortunately fell down on the floor
as the ground was slippery. Contemplating
over this mishap, Akbar decided that a pucca
building to house the kitchen was needed in
order to save such mishaps to others, and as
a result the present building came.
