Lighting or Danka DUA Prayer Timings Dargah Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz India
Every day about 20 minutes before Maghrib prayer the ceremony
of lighting is held. The way in which this ceremony is performed is that some khadims
bring candles (especially prepared for this purpose) in their hands towards the
Chhoti Deg. As soon as they start moving from the Chhoti Deg towards the Holy Tomb,
drums are beaten.
Everyone starts gathering inside the tomb, those who can not enter the tomb stand
outside on either side of the main entrance in the Begami Dalan. At this time too,
women are not permitted to enter into the tomb. khadims after touching the candles
on to the heads of the devotees reach inside the tomb with prayers of blessing for
devotees. They place those candles in the lamps. The unlighted candles are now lighted.
The lamps in which the candles are placed are four in number. khadims hold these
lamps in their hands and keep them above their heads. One of them recite Persian
verses for the glory of the Holy Saint. With the end of those verses the people
disperse and the lamps are placed in four corners of the Holy Tomb.
In the local language this ceremony is called 'Danka'.
Kadka Timings of Ajmer
Sharif Dargah Khawaja Gareeb Nawaz India
This last ceremony of the day is popularly known as 'Kadka' and is performed in
traditional manner. This ceremony is held after an hour and a half of Isha prayers.
After this ceremony the door of the main entrance into the Holy tomb is closed and
locked.
According to an old tradition, 20 minutes before closing the main entrance of the
Holy Tomb when about one fifth part of the night has passed, a person loudly calls
to ring five and with his voice the clock sounds five times. The khadims ready to
perform this function request the devotees to vacate the tomb, the devotees come
out of the tomb and stand on either side of the entrance. The khadims then close
the other doors from inside and make a search inside the entire tomb to check if
there is no one inside the tomb. At least three khadims join in this service. They
clean the surroundings of the Mazaar in the same way as they do in the morning and
evening Khidmat.
They come out of the tomb one by one with the sand
and dust of the floor kept in a fine cloth and keep the same in a shelf inside Sandali-Masjid.
When the third and the last khadims come out, a person duly appointed again calls
in a loud voice to ring six bells. The bell sounds six times. As soon as the voice
of the sixth bell sounds, a qawwal starts to sing a special song in an Indian language
which is called Kadka. As soon as the last verse of the Kadka is recited, the main
entrance of the tomb is closed and locked. The Khadim on duty keeps the key with
him and also keeps a watch of the tomb throughout the night.

opens the lock that guards the main door. Through this entrance the khadims enter
into the tomb and stand in between the main entrance and a small door, which is
still closed. Before opening this small door the Kalid Bardar sends Darood and Salaam

is then opened and khadims enter into the tomb. After entering into the tomb, they
prepare for 'Khidmat'. Some stand round the first enceinte of the Mazaar, some enter
