Richly carved sandstone tombs dating from the 15th to the 18th centuries.The artistic style is completely unique. Decorations include rosettes, a peculiarity of Sindh. Ladies tombs can be identified because they include carved bangles and necklaces.Local people, the descendants of those buried there, still insist on being interred here despite government edicts to the contrary and threats of large fines and imprisonment.
