On these same island rocks, in the 15th century, legend tells us that a saint's casket was trapped. Sayyed Peer Haji Ali Shah Bukhari was on a pilgrimage to Mecca when he died. After his coffin was cast into the ocean at his request, it floated back to Mumbai. The Haji Ali mosque and tomb were later constructed on this spot to commemorate him.
