Description

View No. 14.

This is a shrine sacred to the Mahomedans, it was built by King Ghazee-ood-deen Hyder : it stands on the summit of a mound, and is believed to contain a stone, bearing the footprint of the Prophet Mahomed. The stone is said to have been brought from Mecca by some distinguished pilgrim.

During the mutiny, the place afforded a strong position for the rebels, but was soon taken by the British. It is not a little singular that the building should be held in such reverence by the Mahomedans ; for a report is extant, to the effect that the sacred stone has been stolen ; the shrine therefore contains nothing to venerate. reference

Kadum Rasul, located along the Gumti River near the Shahnajaf Imambara, is a Muslim shrine, connected to the Prophet Muhammad's footprints. Commissioned by Nawab Ghazi-ud-din Haider (r. 1814-1827) it is a simple square structure with a single central dome.

Kadum Rasul, or the Prophet's Foot, a Mosque.
