Haji Malang (Thane) Haji Malang, is
a 300 year old dargah at Kalyan, in Mumbai, where Baba Abdur
Rehman Malang has been buried. Malang was a Sufi saint who came
to India in the 12th century AD from the middle east. Haji Malang,
in true syncretic tradition, was one of the few dargahs where
a Hindu vahivatdar (traditional priest from the Hindu Karandekar
family) and a Muslim mutavalli (claiming to be distant kin of
the saint), had both been officiating at religious rituals.
