Pirani Noorbi Amma Dargah Sharif, situated near Peer Baba Chowk in Dalaipara (Sambalpur – 768001, Odisha), is a beloved local Sufi shrine honoring the revered woman-saint Pirani Noorbi Amma. Although no formal records establish its exact founding date, the dargah likely emerged in the late 19th or early 20th century, beginning as a modest mazar where devotees gathered informally. Over time, through community support, it expanded into a more defined sacred space—featuring a tomb platform, prayer area, and courtyard—becoming a site for regular devotional practices like Qur’anic recitations, dhikr sessions, and communal langar (free meals). The shrine holds special significance within Dalaipara’s multi-faith community, drawing Muslims and Hindus alike for Thursday evening prayers, flag-hanging ceremonies, and the annual urs (death anniversary) of the saint. Today, while still modest in scale, the dargah remains a living testament to regional folk-Sufi traditions, fostering spiritual solace and unity among diverse devotees.
