Mumbai: Haji Ali
The dargah was built in 1431 by a wealthy Muslim merchant and saint named Haji Ali who renounced all his wordly possessions before making a pilgrimage to Mecca. Legend has it that Haji Ali died on his way to Mecca and his body, in its casket, floated back to Mumbai.
About this place:
Now called Mumbai, Bombay is one of the really big cities of India. Its also undoubtedly the most expensive and crowded city. Not that the city is extremely livable but it has a strange power over people living in it. Once your in it, it becomes really hard to leave. Its kind of funny the way an overcrowded, polluted, relentless city exercises such power over you. Its magic.
