The well inside Hare Bhare Shah Dargh, adjacent to the Jama Masjid, is Rafiq’s only source of water. The dargah is only washed with water brought in by the bhishtis, who get Rs 6.000 per month for the service. The well is said to have been there for nearly 350 years and has never gone dry. Some two decodes ago, bhishtis would queue here to draw water, says Rafiq, but not anymore. Even till 2019, there were four-five bhishtis who worked in the area but the pandemic has completely stopped the demand for water by them.

Mohammad Rafiq (left) is the only bhishti to service in the areas around Delhi’s Jama Masjid. The mashq (goat skin sacks used to carry water) used by bhishtis earlier now mostly hang unused on the walls.
