Dargah Konda

Dargah Konda is a hilltop Islamic shrine in One Town, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, dedicated to Saint Baba Ishaq Madina. Located among the city's three prominent hillocks alongside Ross Hill and Venkateswara Konda, it overlooks Visakhapatnam Port and the Bay of Bengal. The site is known for its white dargah structure, stepped ascent, and panoramic city and sea views, attracting both pilgrims and sightseers.

Visitors can expect a short climb via steps to a hilltop dargah complex with a white domed shrine. The hilltop offers open views of Visakhapatnam city, the port, coastline and Bay of Bengal. The surroundings include the shrine courtyard, prayer areas and viewpoints. The setting is relatively quiet compared to the busy One Town area below, with pilgrims visiting for prayers and tourists for sightseeing and photography.

The dargah on the hill is dedicated to the Muslim saint Baba Ishaq Madina and has long been a place of pilgrimage. The hill is part of the historic One Town area of Visakhapatnam and forms one of the three hillocks that have traditionally hosted places of worship for different faiths.

Dargah Konda is an important Islamic pilgrimage site in Visakhapatnam visited by devotees throughout the year, especially during Urs festival. Together with Ross Hill and Venkateswara Konda, it is cited as an example of religious coexistence in the city, with each hill hosting a shrine of a different faith within close proximity.
