Batamaloo Saheb:

Sheikh Dawood, the saint after whom the shrine and the locality is named was known as Batamaloo Saheb. He was a disciple of Sheikh Hamza Makhdoom. The son of a poor farmer, he was a strict vegetarian and his followers are also expected to be vegetarian on certain days of the year. He was known to be very kind hearted and pious. He always washed the hooves of his cattle and also the earth sticking to his ploughshares before leaving the fields so that dust from one place was not transferred to another place. Sheikh Dawood tilled his own lands and everyday he would take a large vessel filled with boiled rice to his fields and distribute it to anyone who would pass by. Because of this he was called Batamaloo which means “father who feeds with cooked rice”. His Urs is celebrated in the month of April every year.
