Description
Muhammad Hasan Abululayi (1780-1869), a sufi saint) came to Hyderabad from Bidar, a neighboring town. He is buried under a large tomb in the Dargah located in Aghapura. Upon his death, a disciple Agha Muhammad Dawud (d. 1904) succeeded him, after whom the shrine is popularly called Dargah Agha Dawud. The dargah is a domed tomb surrounded by an arcaded verandah with lobed arches set on baluster columns. Other parts of the dargah include a samakhanah, music audition hall, a mosque, and a hostel for out of town devotees.
