The PM was accompanied by Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ghulam Nabi Azad, Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and other top officials.

The

imam of the shrine, where a strand of hair said to be that of Prophet Mohammad is kept, offered a shawl to the PM and briefed him about the holy place.

Singh also sprinkled food grains for pigeons, a practice considered as auspicious by locals.
