Not on view

The musjid (place of prayer) in the background honors the Sufi mystic Nutter Owleah, who died in 1225. More commonly known as Nathar Auliya or Nathar Vali, he is credited with bringing Muslim teachings to south India from Turkey or Syria, and this site remains a powerful shrine for both Muslims and Hindus.
