Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai Shrine – Bhit Shah – Sindh – Pakistan

Описание: The Shrine of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai is an 18th-century Sufi shrine located in the town of Bhit Shah, in the Pakistani province of Sindh.
The shrine was built for Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, a noted Sindhi Sufi scholar, mystic, saint, and poet who is widely considered to be the greatest Muslim poet of the Sindhi language. His

poems were assembled in the compilation; Shah Jo Risalo.
The shrine complex was built in 1772 by Mian Ghulam Shah Kalhoro to house the tomb of the Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai.
The shrine is considered to be one of the most important in Sindh, and its annual urs festival attracts up to 500,000 visitors.
The shrine is 125 kilometres from the popular Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan Sharif. It is 212 km (3:15 hrs) from Karachi city.
Women serve as caretakers of tombs within the shrine complex.
Male singers at the shrine mimic female voices by singing in falsetto to mimic heroines in Shah Abdul Latif's poetry. Qawwali is performed nightly at the shrine after evening prayers.
The Hindu Bhil and Kolhi communities revere the shrine, as Shah Abdul Latif's poetry is considered to be tolerant of other beliefs.
The shrine complex includes a mosque and a mausoleum that open onto a large courtyard encircled by domed arcades by means of a large gateway.
The complex is notable for being elaborately decorated with Sindhi tile work featuring blue and white floral themes.
