Samadhi of Baba Rode Shah
 This is an
exclusive and well-liked tomb that lies on the Amritsar-Majitha road. One of the few places in India where offerings and prasad are given in the form of IMFL (Indian-made foreign liquor) or country liquor.
Nothing is diluted in any way and must be 'slammed back' neat. It is said that the Baba used to meditate at the place of the present samadhi (tomb) and he once hallowed a childless couple who gave birth to a son soon after.
The Baba refused to accept the money the grateful couple offered him, but asked the couple to bring a bottle of liquor and distribute it among his devotees instead. Though he passed away in 1924, the tradition is still going strong. Among the more famous devotees of Baba Rode Shah was the singer Mohammed Rafi.
