P M YOOSUF ALI (guest) Story of KOOMAPATTI ZAMINDAR who lived a hundred years back. - from my memories

What I heard ..... some 50 or 55 years back .... from my parents and aunties (who are all no more now ).

Koomapatti's Last Zamindar / Diwansha was : ZAMINDAR ABDULLAH ROWTHER SAHIB. (also known as : Azhagar / Azhagar Samee since he was very fair and handsome)

Zamindar's only SISTER :--

Mrs FATHIMA BEEVI W/O : Uoosuf Rowther Sahib

Zamindar's WIFE :

Mrs SARAH BEEVI Abdullah Rowther Sahib

Zamindar's CHILDREN' :-

He HAD SIX DAUGHTERS  and ONE SON  (son being the youngest of all),  namely ....

1. (Mrs) AISHA Beevi  (w/o : Shamshuddeen Rowther Sahib) 2. (Mrs) ZULEKA Beevi  (w/o : U. Peer Mohammed Alim Sahib) 3. (Mrs) JAINUMBU  Beevi  (w/o :  Mohammed Gani Rowther Sahib) 4. (Mrs) KATHEEJA BEEVI of Seelayampatti 5. (Mrs) MAIMOON Beevi  (w/o :  Nooruddeen Rowther Sahib) 6. (Mrs) FATHI MUTHU Beevi  (w/o :  Baharuddeen Sahib) 7. (Mr.)  MAHMOOD SAHIB  Mahamood (husb / of : Jeenath Ammal)

The family members lived happily in the palace / bungalow in Koomapatti which had two huge & heavy wooden gates; and, within the premises / courtyard two gold plated chariots parked, two huge elephants & 4 horses tied up and wherein a large Ground Level Water Tank existed, enabling the elephants and the horses to drink and take bath.

In a similar bungalow amid mangoe trees in the garden / cultivation field, the Zamindar kept his girl friend with her mother (of other caste) promising to marry the girl.

Unfortunately, the girl died on the river bank near Upparapatti, it is told.

Due to a worst "curse", Zamindar's wife left Koomapatti Palace with all her children,  to go to Uppukottai, a village near Theni.

After that, the Zamindar and his sister (Mrs Fathima Beevi) only remained in the palace, became great  sufis in due course and they were buried .... on a four feet uplevelled Qabre ... inside their palace after their deaths.

People, now,  treat the palace as a Dhargha (named as " BALA MUSTHAN DHARGHA ") and used to visit, almost all days till now, for ziyarath.

Sufi Zamindar (who is also known as : Diwansha Oliyullah) used to visit the second palace to do Riyazath / Diyan.

A pupil tree stick (which he stuck there) grew a giant pupil in these 120 years. That place is called as "ATHI DIWANSHAH OLIYULLAH DHARGHA" (in Tamil : "அத்தி துவான் ஷா ஒலியுல்லா தர்கா" ).

People (of varoou religions / castes) used to visit to this Athi Dhargha also with their offerings.
