Hazrath Syed Shah Yousufuddin and Syed Shah Sharifuddin were military commanders in the army of Aurangzeb. The lastMughal emperor Aurangzeb, according to legend, sought their help in conquering the Kingdom of Golconda, a well-defended fort a top a hill built of granite rock.
As the legend goes, during the siege of Golconda, when Aurangzeb's army was camped around the fort for several months, there was a hurricane that swept over the camped troops and blew away almost everything. The troops were left in the open and exposed to the elements. Only one tent stood its ground, and the most miraculous feature was that the candle in the tent still burned, and the flicker of the candle attracted the attention of the troops.
When the troops arrived at the tent they could see the shadows of two men inside. Upon investigating, they found that it was the tent of two of the commanders of Aurangzeb. They had been reading the Quran in candlelight, and the storm blew over, but did not disturb them or their surroundings. They were made famous by this incident and recognized as great saints.
When they died, they were buried in the village of Nampally. Even today, their graves remain and are visited by people of all faiths, who pay their respect to the saints. The saints are more popularly known as Yousuf Baba and Sharif Baba.
