The Dargah of Khwaja Abdussalam Chishti in Damoh — located in the area locally known as Chishti Nagar (near Nuri Nagar / the Old Bazaar) — marks the mausoleum of the respected Chishti-order Sufi saint who spent his final years in Damoh; after his passing the mazar (shrine) was established at Old Bazaar No. 2 and has since become the focal point of annual urs (death-anniversary) commemorations that draw devotees and qawwals from around the region. The shrine is locally cared for by the Anjuman Chishtia committee and is known not only as a place of devotional prayer and qawwali gatherings but also as a communal site where people of different backgrounds come to offer chadar and seek blessings during the multi-day urs festivities.
