400 stairs brings you to a place of religious interest, built by the Asif Jahis. Legend has it that Yakoob, a eunuch in the court of Ibrahim Quli, went to the hill after he saw Hazrat Ali seated on it. To his surprise, he saw the impression Ali's palm on a stone, which he had dreamt. He had the impression cut out and installed in a shrine. Ibrahim Shah later built a mosque beside the dargah. An Ashurkhana, a Baradari (pavilion) and a Nqqar khana (place for beating drums) were built during the Qutb Shahi period.
