Mosque and Birth Place of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai

SindhMosqueProtected
The mosque of Hazrat Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai (1689/1690-1752 CE) is said to be three hundred years old built by the saint himself. This is also his birth place, which has been destroyed and only a graveyard is left. The mosque is built with burnt bricks surmounted with a vaulted roof plastered with lime. The shrine complex was built in 1772 by Mian Ghulam Shah Kalhoro (1757 - 1772) to house the tomb of the Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. 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.
