Sights/Landmarks
The tomb of Mian Yar Muhammad Kalhoro is situated at 2.5 km west of Khudabad and 1 km (0.5 mile) to the west of Khudabad Mosque. The glazed tile facade of the Tomb features a magnificent circular floral design in blue and white tiles above the central door. Though quite a number of tiles have fallen down, you can still appreciate the beauty and intricacy of the pattern.
Mian Yar Muhammad Kalhoro was a great and powerful leader of Mianwal Movement and ruler of Kalhora dynasty. Locally he became famous as “Dandaee” which means powerful. He died in 1718 AD. The mausoleum of Mian Yar Kalhoro is a glorious type of Kalhora architecture. The floral fresco paintings of this monument have vanished due to renovation.
Yar Muhammad Kalhoro may be regarded as the real founder of Kalhora Dynasty. In 1701, he managed to wrestle Shikarpur, the center of trade from Central Asia to South Asia from Daudpotas and established his rule in Upper Sindh. He founded the city of Khudabad and made it the capital of his kingdom. Later he extended his rule to Sehwan and Bukkur and became sole ruler of Northern and central Sindh, except Thatta which was still under administrative control of Mughal Empire. Mian Yar Muhammad Kalhoro ruled Sindh for 18 years.
