Ul-Khizr Mosque

The second holy site you see as you pass through the compound. This beautiful mosque contains the tombs of two holy men (who originated from Central Asia and India). In a corner of the compound is a small building containing what is touted as a "miraculous healing stone." Place both hands on it and it will suck bad spirits out of you.

It's a fine example of the kind of non-orthodox forms of Islam that flourish in South Asia but would never be tolerated in parts of Arabia.
