Maula Ali Dargah in India - a little account

By: Zahir Shah

NEW DELHI, India: The Maula Ali Dargah was built in India in the memory of Hazrat Ali, the son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be on him and his holy progeny.

Four hundred stairs brings a person to a place of religious interest, built by the Asif Jahis. Legend has it that Yakoob, a eunuch in the court of Ibrahim Quli, went to the hill after he saw in his dream Hazrat Ali (peace be on him) seated on it.

To his surprise, he saw the impression of Ali's palm on a stone, which he had dreamed. He had the impression cut out and installed in a shrine. Ibrahim Shah later built a mosque beside the dargah. An Ashurkhana, a Baradari (pavilion) and a Naqqar khana (place for beating drums) were built during the Qutb Shahi period.
