"People congregate in large numbers at the mazÁrs or shrines of Shah Madar, Khwaja Muinud-din, SalÁr, SarÚr Sultan and Pir PÁbÚ etc. They go in large numbers for ziyÁrat (visit to the sacred tombs) and perform tawÁf (circumbulation) which arebid‘at (innovation, heresy). Orders were issued to stop these practices. ... ‚Also, the Hindus, and quite often the Musalmans crowd at the shrines of Devi and that of PÁbÚjÍ for worship. The Emperor ordered that the Hindus should not crowd at these places, and worship of ShÍtlÁ (mÁtÁ) should not be performed anywhere near the habitation‛."
