The Haji Malang Dargah in Kalyan is looked after by a Brahmin family of Ketkar. For ages this Brahmin family has been in charge of this Dargah. The present keeper is Kashinath Gopal Ketkar. The Shiv Sena in Thane region, however, claims that it is not dargah but a samadhi of Shri Machhindarnath, a Hindu ascetic. Earlier the Hindus, Muslims, Christians and Parsis used to celebrate the urs (death anniversary) of Baba Malang together. Now on every urs day the state has to deploy a huge police force to avoid communal clashes.
