Praying in Rawalpindi
Rawalpindi — 'Pindi' to its residents — is the garrison city of over 2.5 million people that forms the historic, bustling twin of Pakistan's capital Islamabad. Where Islamabad is all planned sectors and wide avenues, Rawalpindi is old bazaars, Sufi shrines and crowded streets: Raja Bazaar's labyrinth of shops, the shrine of Shah Chan Chiragh, and Liaquat Bagh park, named for Pakistan's first prime minister.
Pindi's religious life blends military-town order with old-city devotion. The city's mosques fill for Fajr with shopkeepers and soldiers alike, and the shrine of Bari Imam — technically in nearby Islamabad's foothills — draws Rawalpindi pilgrims on Thursdays. Being at 33.6°N, Rawalpindi experiences Pakistan's full seasonal swing: June days stretch from a 3:25 AM Fajr to a 7:20 PM Maghrib, while December compresses prayer times into short winter days with Maghrib near 5:00 PM. During Ramadan, Raja Bazaar's food streets — famous for dahi bhallay, fruit chaat and fresh juices — come alive after Taraweeh, and the city's many biryani houses do their biggest business of the year.
