Baba Ghundi is a well known Saint who migrated from Afghanistan. Legend has it that he was hungry and thirsty and asked for food from local people who refused. Only an old lady fed him. Baba Ghundi sent a curse and the whole valley was destroyed by floods except the old lady. Another legend is that there was a dragon who used to kill people. Baba Ghundi killed that dragon and became a legend. Many people flock his grave situated at the end of Chipursan valley in August and September every year. There is small water stream near the grave and childless people drink from that stream so that they may have children. Naughty children are also brought here and it is thought that after drinking this water and praying at the grave, their behavior improves.
