All roads in Udayagiri town in Nellore district of Anbdhra Pradesh are leading to the local Darivesha Vali dargah after a rumour that the dargah is ‘breathing’ broke out, three days ago. Thousands of devotes and general public from nearby districts are also thronging the town to witness the ‘miracle’ while others rule it out as superstition. The dargah, located in the Udayagiri town, 95 kilometres from district headquarters, is abuzz with activity. The dargah belongs to Islamic priest Darivesha Vali.
According to locals, the chaddhar put on the tomb is moving up and down as if it is placed on a living person. This is happening only at nights and is attracting people from various places.
Udayagiri mandal revenue officer Kurra Venkateswarlu, who visited the Dargah after reports spread like wild fire, said that 5.5 feet long and two feet wide tomb of the Islamic priest has been covered with clothes of three colours--red, orange and green.
“The green cloth, which is on the top of the tomb, was moving up and down like a cloth on the face of a person while he is breathing,’’ Venkateswarlu told Express over phone from Udayagiri.
The MRO said he did not dare to remove the cloth as it is connected to the sentiments of a particular community. He said that a similar incident happened in 2012 in the same month.
Quoting locals, the MRO said the ‘breathing’ begins in the evening and continues till the wee hours. “It stops automatically when the sun rises,’’ locals said.
People thronged from several villages including Porumamilla and Badwel of Kadapa district. They believe it is a miracle of ‘Allah’ and it is the indication of his super natural powers.
“It is nothing but the rebirth of Darivesha Vali’ and this is his blessing. How can one call it a superstition when thousands of people are believing in it and offering prayers,” says S K Khadhir Vali from Kadirinaidupalle village of Marripadu mandal.
Local people believe that their long-pending wishes would be fulfilled if they perform poojas to the Darivesha Vali tomb.
