The said building is near the mausoleum of Khak Faraj. In the midst of this structure is a well with a hillock on it. There are two theories related to this vicinity. The first is that the Hajar-ol-Asvad (or the black stone) in Mecca, was transferred from here to the Kaba . The second theory is that this well was dug so as to gain water, but due to an earthquake the well was set ablaze (without the use of fuel). It is due to this reason that the belief goes that one of the three largest fire-temples of the Zoroastrians was located in this vicinity.
