But if eleven men when use their right index finger to lift and when they jointly say "Qamar Ali" the stone rises to their head level as it's weightless. This is truly an amazing site to witness. Many curious minds tried their wild thinking but could not get any clue how this happens. Almost 6 centuries back, Qamar Ali was born to simple middle class Muslim family.

It's percieved that the design pattern color etc visible on mundaas are used for waether, rain crops and prosperity for the coming year. Usually this anlysis and interpretation to forecast is only done by local seniors. This practise is going on from so many unknown number of years. It's a mystery till today how and from where this cloth come...
