SEVEN TOMBS





This is a place called "Seven Tombs," and is the burial place of Kings and queens. Hayath Bakshi Begum affectionately know as "Ma Saheba" (meaning revered mother) was the daughter of Muhammad Quli Qutub who was the 5th king. She was married to the 6th king and was the mother to the 7th king. When her son (the king) shaved for the first time there was a 12 day celebration. (a funny thing to get so excited over.) The first and 3rd picture are her tomb.
No where in the world are there so many tombs in once place. These tombs date back to 1500's.
This last ;picture is Shaker & Vijaya and Elder and sister Woods who just arrived and will be serving in Vsack. (Vsack is a resort town on the coast. (Sea of Bengal)
