HAF-BRH-2 | Valhu Sarahadhdhu

This road is called Kalhuoh Fummi Magu. Kalhuoh Fummi refers to the name of the ship used by Muhammad Thakurufaanu (d. 1585). This is believed to have been the place where Thakurufaanu and his brothers built that famous boat that was used in his campaign against the Portuguese. There is a (heavily restored) bench here that is also said to be the place where they rested during their work. Most of the wells and benches in the area that had fallen into neglect were restored or reconstructed during Maumoon’s Presidency (1978-2008).
