MANZAR LANGAR OTA

Standing alone on its hillside, the Langar Ota Mausoleum is the funeral monument of the most famous saint of the region, Mohamed Sadik Sheikh who lived in the 16th century. You have to climb the path that crosses the cemetery to reach the gates of this monument surrounded by a lush garden. In passing, notice the engraved grave of a Langar resident with her cat: she lived 106 years, she was the village healer and herbalist. She is revered by the locals. Less so than Mohamed Sadik, however, who died in 1545 and was a local patron who offered the village its mosque.
