Uch: The Secrets Behind This 700-Year-Old Pakistani UNESCO Treasure

Uch is an historic city in the southern part of Pakistan's Punjab province.
Uch is also called "The City of Saints II". The historic city of Uch Sharif where the culture of shrine worship took root, is located approximately 80 kilometres from the city of Bahawalpur, and there is also Motorway 5 interchange named "Uch Sharif Interchange" from the direction of Multan to Sukkur. Uch was founded by Alexander the Great and later came under the control of the Delhi Sultanate. It was built near a place called Panjnad where all of the Indus rivers meet. Uch used to be a centre of political and cultural activities and is home to myriad of mosques and shrines. The Tomb of Bibi Jawindi is one of the five monuments in Uch Sharif that are on the tentative list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.Dating to the 15th century, the shrine was built in 1493 by an Iranian prince, Dilshad, for Bibi Jawindi, who was the great-granddaughter of Jahaniyan Jahangasht, a famous Sufi saint. The Oxford University has included some of the tombs and other buildings in Uch Sharif in the subject of archaeology in order to create awareness among the students. And my love for Uch Sharif is immeasurable because my Mother belongs to Uch Sharif.
