Some people say "Asota pa Razaroo ke Na sahee"; it means Asota need not to be considered in regional decisions. People, who want to humiliate a person of Asota, use these like words. In fact it is historically proved that Asota sharif is one of the oldest village of NWFP.The name of Asota came from two "Sanskrit" words: AAS and WATTA, which mean "upright" and "stone".
The remains of archeological stone-circle are still exist in Asota Sharif, for which Asota was named. The sign of megaliths stones spread over the site indicates that it was a temple of sun-worshipping communities in Saravish regime [5th/6th century BC]. According to some scholars, the building had 30 doors, every one of which was used on a certain day. A local legend states that these stones were the petrified forms of a marriage procession, comprising of bride, the bridegroom and some other people /relatives, who were attacked by bandits and prayed to be petrified instead of disgraced at their hands. Sharif was added latter on due to the respectful personality of Hazrat Hameedullah Babajee.
