Ameen Peer Dargah — Attraction in Andhra Pradesh

== History of Ameen Peer Dargah == The masjid is believed to be constructed in 1683. The three centuries of divine wisdom of the place is originally a grave place for the two Sufi saint Perullah Hussaini and Arufulla Hussaini II. The sufi saints are descendants of Prophet Mohammed who have come to south India and spread the teachings of Islam. The then Nawab of Sidhout Taluk, Nawab Nek nam Khan changed the name of this place to Neknamabaad on the advice of Perullah Hussaini. Neknamabaad eventually became Kadapa.

Heard and read a lot about this Dargha. So it was in our plan to visit this one when we did the one day road trip to Vontimitta, Devuni kadapa and other places.

Struggled a little bit to find out the place. It was already noon when we reached this place.

Very nice and wonderful.

Definitely a must visit place if you...

The place sounded peaceful. The volunteers are very kind and helpful. They will guide you and provide full information about what...
