Tawakkal Mastan Dargha

A place visited by Hindus and Muslims alike, this dargah has a history of over 200 years. The annual urs is celebrated here on 19 Safar. The dargah's history goes back to the time of Nawab Hyder Ali Khan. The king, after accession to the throne, wanted to build a sloped wall to his fort at Kalasipalya and replace the mud walls with stone walls. Three men — Hazrath Tipu Mastan, Hazarath Manik Mastan, and Hazrath Tawakkal Mastan — came to Bangalore and joined the work force at the construction site. The three worked with other labourers during day, and spent the night, in prayers.
