In the compound of Hazrat Salahuddin Darwesh Dargah are two gumbad a which are used as a dumpyard  by two families living there.

This area must have been a much in demand cemetery but now it’s prime land only

Grave tales
Been staying here for many years in a house adjacent to Gumbad.
The Cenotaph has been removed now. i peeped in
Bricked up
it seems such a waste of time to erect memorials to death
Who lay here?
There are no ghosts here. I asked
once upon a time loved ones must have lit candles for the dead. souls
Together in death and desolation
some more construction planned
Sheikh Salahuddin Darvesh the saint who pulled other people to make graves here
Another angle of second gumbad
living is tiring business. who’s worried about the dead!
Faizan and friends live behind the tombs
a green wicket gate to the one room house next to the gumbad
