Sindh
Bhit Shah's three-day Sufi festival honouring Sindh's greatest poet, nights of raag, the Shah Jo Risalo sung at his shrine.
The Urs at Bhit Shah commemorates Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, the 18th-century Sufi poet whose Shah Jo Risalo is the cornerstone of Sindhi literature. Each year devotees and musicians gather for three days of raag, the poet's verses sung through the night in the surirs he composed.
The heart of the Urs is the music, the faqirs singing Bhittai's verses at the shrine through the night. It is devotional and intense; dress modestly and follow local guidance among the crowds.
Use Plan a trip to combine Bhit Shah with Hyderabad, the Indus heritage trail, and the wider Sindh Sufi circuit.
