At that time, very few people dared to go to the island and the sufi saint used to meditate in complete solitude and isolation. After his death, people came to know about his ‘karamaat’ and started to flock the Takia island. Earlier, there was only his grave there. But during some years back, the caretaker Syed Rizwan Ali has made some good constructions at Takia Island including a domed mausoleum.
