Moula Ali: All speak about the Old City and its aura during the holy month of Ramzan but the area near Moula Ali which has a good number of Muslims too is glooming with festive fervour. Thousands of Shia Muslims congregate at the Moula Ali dargah and at the foot of the hill. . Flowers, perfume and food stall come up from nowhere during the holy month of Ramzan.

Delicious food and drinks are an indispensable part. Youngsters stay awake throughout the night and also partake in the awakening ritual by knocking on the doors of rozedars. Like in the Purani Haveli area of Old City, even near Moula Ali Kaman there are many naan and kulcha making joints.
