35 min (15.6 km) via Thane - Belapur Rd(from Navi Mumbai)
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 (R.A). The Mazaar of Hazrat Dawood Shah Wali (R.A) measures 144 feet in length to be precise.
One of the miracles of Hazrat Dawood Shah Wali (R.A) is since his Dargah is situated in the interiors and was not cemented it used to wither away caused by strong winds but would again regain its shape once the winds subsided.
Recently the Dargah was renewed into a cemented one by none other than the Mozart of Madras Mr A. R. Rahman.
A Dargah is a Sufi Islamic shrine built over the grave of a revered religious figure, often a Sufi saint or dervish. People visit a shrine to perform a practice of visiting the graves (ziyarat). The term dargah is derived from a Persian word which can mean, among other uses, "portal" or "threshold". Some believe that dargahs are portals by which they can invoke the deceased saints intercession and blessing (as per tawassul). Still others hold a less supernatural view of dargahs, and simply visit as a means of paying their respects to deceased pious individuals or to pray at the sites for perceived spiritual benefits.
