Mazaar-e-Noorani is a significant religious shrine of the Dawoodi Bohra community, located in Vohra Hajira, Mandvi, in Gujarat's Kutch district. It is the final resting place of Syedna Noor Mohammed Nooruddin (RA), the 37th Dai al-Mutlaq, who led the Dawoodi Bohra community from 1710 to 1719. Born in Jamnagar, Syedna Nooruddin later moved to Mandvi, where he spent the final years of his life and passed away on 4 Rajab 1130 AH (1718–1719 CE, depending on the calendar conversion). The shrine, also known as Al-Qubbah al-Nooraniyyah, holds deep spiritual significance for Dawoodi Bohra followers, who visit it to offer ziyarat and pay their respects. The mausoleum was reconstructed in marble and formally inaugurated in October 1999 by the 52nd Dai al-Mutlaq, Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (RA). Its domed structure, decorative marble work and landscaped surroundings reflect the importance of preserving the community's religious heritage. Today, Mazaar-e-Noorani remains an important pilgrimage destination and a landmark of Dawoodi Bohra history in Mandvi.
