| Local / Traditional description associated with Built Heritage / Site निर्मित धरोहर / स्थल से सम्बंधित स्थानीय/ परम्परागत विवरण |
The shrine is a favorite to locals and people irrespective of religion visit the dargah every day to pay homage to the saint. Devotees are tied red-yellow threads pleading with the saint to act as an interlocutor between them and God and have their wishes granted. It is said that if a pilgrim who truly believes in the saint, makes a wish and ties a thread near the grave, his wishes will be fulfilled. |
