A shrine or tomb of a Muslim saint or holy person, especially in South Asia, often visited as a pilgrimage site.
From Persian dargāh, meaning 'threshold' or 'court' (from dar 'door' + gāh 'place'). The word entered English through Indian English and Islamic religious contexts, referring to the mausoleums of Sufi saints throughout the Islamic world.
A dargah is like a Muslim saint's combination shrine-and-temple where millions of people of all religions come to pray and seek blessings—some of the most famous ones in India have been pilgrimage sites for over 600 years!
