This Dargah is beautifully built with a white makrana marble and also has a black marble on it carved with the Koranic texts all around it at a height. Kamar Ali Darvesh Dargah is named after a very famous saint by name Pir Kamarali Darvesh as he was buried at this place about 700 years back. He was honored as a highly spiritual person.

Kamar Ali was interested in many other directions like gymnasium. He had passed away at a very early age of 18 years and there after he was honored as a saint.


There are two rocks that are kept at the Dargah. Legend says that these are the rocks which Hazrat tried to lift, as he was not interested in all these, he was not able to do so and failed as many times as he tried. Hence these rocks are placed as majestically levitated for the visitors who visit Kamar Ali Darvesh Dargah. There are two large stones placed near the contour of the Dargah premises. A group of 11 people wi approach towards the stone and try to pick it up with the help of the index finger. This stone has to be lifted up with the help of the tips of the index finger.

People lifting this stone voiced in unison the name of the saint. People hold the 1st syllable for as long as possible and that too without running a breath. They say Kamar Ali Darveshe the giant rock suddenly lifts up and remains there till the partaker's runs off the breath.
