I went to Shah, also called “Bhit”, a small town located in the Matitheari district of Sindh, 34.7 miles away from Hyderabad. The place is very popular and is named after the famous Sindhi poet and Sufi, Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai. It hardly took us an hour to reach there. The town’s entrance is made of two huge blue arches, and as soon as you go past that, in five minutes you are near the resting place of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, considered the best poet of the Sindhi language.
This shrine is located in Bhit, a small town in the Matahari District of Sindh. It is about 35 Kilometers away from Hyderabad. The mausoleum of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai is a magnificent structure with a single white central dome surrounded by many small minarets with intricate patterns in blue, white, green, and, yellow. Even in the scorching heat, we had to stop and admire its beauty.
