Hajrat Kamar Ali Darvesh Dargah is located around 16 kms away from Pune city on the Pune - Satara Road. This Dargah is about 700 years old and beautifully built with white marble and carved with Quranic text all around.
The main attraction of this Dargah is two stones that are kept at the Dargah. No single person can lift the stone bare handed from the ground. 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 Darvesh the giant rock suddenly lifts up and remains there till the partaker's runs of the breath.
People of all caste and religion come down to this place without any barrier or fear. Women are not allowed to go inside the Dargah particularly because Kamar Ali Darvesh was unmarried. People come down with their wishes and it is considered that their wishes would be fulfilled by Hazrat Kamar Ali Darvesh.
Khed Shivapur is very close and can be easily reached from Pune. It can be visited if you are planning to go to Panchgani or Mahableshwar from Pune.
