Rajasthan is quite famous for forts, palaces, traditional rituals and tribal festivals. But very few people are actually aware of the fact that it is also the homeland of a large number of Muslim people. Rajasthan is in fact one of the major places in India where Islam beliefs influenced an impressive number of Indians. In this context, it must be mentioned that Galiakot in Dungarpur is a fine manifestation of the popularity of Islam religion in Rajasthan. Galiakot is a highly significant Muslim pilgrimage center of Dungarpur.
