  Yateemoun Ka Alawa  
 
 
 
This Alawa is located in the Outer Dabir Pura. It is so called because a replica of the Sarcophagus of the orphan sons of Hazrat Muslim, the cousin of Imam Hussain, who were slain in Kufa, is kept here. This Ashoor Khana also originated during the reign of Abdullah Qutub Shah. Its internal court yard is old. The roof of the court yard is crumbling.

On the Tenth of Moharrum large number of mourners visits this Ashoor Khana after dusk. There was a time when the Sarcophagus used to be taken out in an imposing procession with a Standard carried as an advance guard on an elephant. These days it remains within the Ashoor Khana. Sand, sea shells and small change is spread under the Sarcophagus. It is believed that these would bring prosperity to those who take small quantities home and keep with them.
