FAKIR at Mirpur 1 Mazar.  A fakir or faqir is a Sufi, especially one who performs feats of endurance or apparent magic.  Another fakir who seemed more friendly invited me to come back at 7:30 pm for the “iftar” (breaking the fast).  The mazar is a place where a Muslim saint was buried and a shrine has been built.  Many people come here  making wishes and then give alms to the poor,  including the fakirs.  It also has turned into a place where young street workers hang out.
