Pir Mitha Astana is a revered Sufi shrine located in the old city area of Mastgarh, Pakki Dhaki, Jammu, near the banks of the River Tawi. The shrine is dedicated to Baba Ziarat, popularly known as Peer Mitha, a 14th-century Sufi saint renowned for his simplicity, spiritual powers, and message of communal harmony. The name Peer Mitha (the “sweet saint”) is derived from the tradition that he accepted only small sugar offerings (mitha) from devotees. Historically, the Astana is closely associated with the nearby Peer Kho Cave, where Peer Mitha is believed to have engaged in spiritual interactions with Sadhu Garib Nath Jogi, together forming a sacred spiritual complex respected by people of all faiths. The Mughal-style tomb and mosque, with their elegant architecture, add to the historical and cultural significance of the site. Over centuries, the Astana has remained a symbol of interfaith unity, attracting devotees seeking blessings, spiritual solace, and fulfillment of wishes.
