800 year old Holy shrine of Peer Gyasuddin Aulia. There is also a mosque built by the Peer at this location. It is believed that the mosque has one-fourth of the sanctity of Mecca, a place of pilgrimage for the Muslims. It is, therefore, known as Poa-Mecca. It is believed that by offering prayers there, the faithful gain one-fourth (poa) spiritual enlightenment of what could be gained at Mecca.
