Kasmur is famous for the dargah of the great saint Hazrat Syed Karimullah Shah Quadri (Rahmatullah Alaih) popularly known as Kale Shah Peer Mastan Wali Baba to his countless devotees. The shrine is located at a distance of 25 km from Nellore (80 km from Rahmatabad) along the Chennai Highway. Because of its proximity to Tamil Nadu a large number of people visiting this dargah are from Tamil Nadu, though the shrine is no less popular in Andhra Pradesh. The shrine like the shrine at Rahmatabad is known for its extraordinary healing powers from physical as well as spiritual ailments. The yearly Sandal at Kasmur is perfomed on 25th Rabbiul Awwal, the same day as the sandal of Rahmatabad is performed, the only differrence being that the sandal at Rahmatabad is celeberated after midnight while that of Kasmur is celeberated just before the dawn prayers.Hazrat Syed Karimullah Shah Quadri is believed to be the Peer Bhai (Disciples of the same Master) of Hazrat Haji Syed Khwaja Rahmatullah Nayabe Rasool. Most of the pilgrims who visit Rahmatabad make it a point to visit Kasmur and vice versa. Though not much is available about his life history in the form of written literature it is believed that Hz Karimullah Shah Quadri is a Zinda Wali. It is said that his Visal (expiry) was a Karamat in itself in that he ordered the earth to make place for him and let himself into it and then again ordered the earth to cover him up which did as ordered. The place where his mazar stands today is exactly the spot where he buried himself alive.
Barah Shaheed:
The Barah Shaheed Dargah (the twelve martyrs) located at the heart of Nellore town may well be considered as the most popular dargah of Andhra Pradesh, both inside and outside of it. The yearly sandal celeberated on the 10th, 11th and 12th of Muharram attracts such unprecedented crowds that it needs to be seen to be believed. The Sandal celeberations are popularly known as Rottela Panduga (Rotiyon Ki Eid or Festival Of Breads) in the local language. Many people believe and quite rightly that wishes made at the dargah come true and those people whose prayers have been answered visit the dargah evrey year for the Sandal and offer Rotis (bread) in the adjacent pond which in turn are accepted by those people who have come to the dargah with wishes in their hearts. There are different kind of Rotis viz. Rozi Ki Roti (the bread for employment), Rizq Ki Roti (the bread for food), Shadi Ki Roti (the bread for marriage), Sehat Ki Roti (the bread for good health) and many more depending on the type of wish that one has. Each type of bread corresponds to what one wishes for in life, for example if you wish for good health in life you should go to the Dargah and make a wish for the same and when your wish is fullfilled you should offer a Roti at the pond at the time of Sandal which in turn will be accepted by someone else who also wishes for good health in life and once his wish is fullfilled he should come and offer rotis in a simillar manner. Same thing applies to the other Rotis also. Such is the popularity of this shrine that lakhs and lakhs of people from across India and even foreign countries visit the dargah at the time of the Sandal.Venadu:
The village Venadu lies in the interiors of Sulurupeta near Sri Hari Kota (India's Space Launching Station) in Nellore District. The village is famous for the Dargah of Hazrat Dawood Shah Wali (Rahmatullah Alaih). What's so unique about this Dargah is the length of the Mazar of the aforesaid Buzurg. The mazar is a whopping 144 feet in length to be precise. Since the mazar is located in the interiors and was not cemented it used to wither away due to strong winds but would again regain its shape once the winds subsided. Recently the mazar was converted into a cemented one by none other than the Mozart Of Madras Mr A. R. Rahman who is a frequent visitor at the dargah.
