Information

At the foot of Tanaka Kufulu mountain in Alidarasi village, Mashadi Oruj pir existed under a large rock. Faithful people from the village and surrounding regions would come to the place every Friday, light lamps and candles, and meet the souls of their relatives by calling the name of the holy place where mystical feelings nest.
