The Dargah Hazrat Nooruddin Qumais Al-Qadri Kamaan was built as a pathway to the Dargah (resting place) of the pious Sufi saint, Hazrat Syed Shah Nooruddin Qumais Al-Qadri . The Arch has an old-world charm and has been the gateway to the mosque and is lit up every year for Urs festivities. (Anniversary of the Sufi saint, usually held at the saint's dargah) .
Though only 100 yards away from the main road, the Kamaan leads to saint's Dargah. It is a peaceful place with a green cover. It has a huge neem tree and a few sitaphal trees along with bushes growing wildly.
Sufi saint Hazrat Syed Shah Nooruddin Qumais Al-Qadri was born in Sadhuara in the Yamunanagar district of Haryana in 1803. He came to Hyderabad State in 1834. Hazrat Syed Shah Nooruddin Qumais AlQadri did not have a place to stay and preach. So he decided to take shelter at the nearby tomb of Dargah Yousufain at Nampally and started preaching and serving society.The then ruler, Nizam IV Naser ud Daula was the saint's disciple. The Sufi saint died at the age of 77, on October 4, 1878. Three generations of saints from the same family are laid to rest at the dargah and their graves have a unique cannon-like projection on top, separating them from the others. The marble covering over Saint Nooruddin's grave is beautiful.
