Data Darbar (Punjabi: داتا دربار, romanized: Dātā Darbār) is an Islamic shrine located in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.[1] It is the largest Sufi shrine in South Asia. It was built to house the remains of al-Hujwiri, commonly known as Data Ganj Baksh or more colloquially as Data Sahab, a Sufi saint from Ghazni in present-day Afghanistan, who is believed to have lived on the site in the 11th century CE.
The site is considered to be the most sacred place in Lahore,[2] and attracts up to one million visitors to its annual urs festival.[1]
