| Inside the village, I found the first sign of life at the dargah of Ma Hajiani, sacred to the wealthy Dawoodi Bohra community. |
| All that we are requesting to our sisters is not to enter inside the dargah. |
| On the list are 16 and 17th century Chola temples as well as an old dargah and a church. |
| However many parts of the land were appropriated by the government on one pretext or the other and no compensation, though promised, was paid to the dargah. |
| The village's only provision store also stands next to the dargah and is well stocked with popular brands of food products. |
| Hundreds of beggars queue up near the dargah and occupy positions outside a dozen small eateries. |
