Thul Mir Rukan
Sights/Landmarks
Thul Rukan is a Buddhist stupa situated about 15 km (9 miles) south of Daulatpur. It is built of bricks with four tiers, each one smaller than the one below, surmounted by a dome. The tiers are ornamented with pilasters at intervals and are separated by string courses. This archaeological and historical tomb is 60 ft high.
A road from the town of Kazi Ahmed via Pabjo village leads to Thul Rukan, where one is able to reach this thousand year old archaeological construction.
Henry Cousin, a British Archaeologist, wrote in his book "Sindhi's Archeology" that the bricks used in the construction of this tomb were made and prepared in the Buddhist Rulers' period. The line painting for the birth of Gautam Budh was clearly shown on the bricks, now preserved by the Sindh Archeological Department. He wrote that the ornaments, small effigies and statues were also found when the ground was dug around the tomb.
