The Legend
Legend has it that Yakoob, a eunach in the court of Ibrahim Quli went to
the hill after he saw Hazrat Ali seated on it. He saw the impression of
Hazrat Ali's palm on a stone, which was similar to the one he saw in his
dream. He was surprised and he had the impression hewn out and installed
in a shrine, then built an arch over the spot. Later Ibrahim Shah built a
mosque just beside the dargah. A 'Ashurkhana', a 'Baradari' or pavillion
and a 'Naqqar Khana' or place for beating drums were added during the
Qutub Shahi period.
The Dargah draws people from all over the country and abroad too,
