Multan
is
an
ancient
city
in
South
Punjab,
Pakistan.
Multan
was
an
important
center
of
trade
during
the
Islamic
era
of
India.
Also,
being
the
city
of
mystic
Sufis
earned
this
town
the
name
“City
of
Saints.”
There
are
many
shrines
and
tombs
spread
around
Multan,
its
suburbs,
and
adjacent
towns.
Such
shrines
and
Multan
with
an
Old
Persian
saying:
Gard,
Garma,
&
Ghadda
(Dust,
hot
weather,
and
saints/beggars).
Multan
is
the
city
of
Saints,
many
Suifi
Mazars,
but
the
best
is
Shah
Rukn-e-Alam.
Built
in
1334,
the
tomb
was
made
for
someone
else
and
that
family
donated
this
to
Sheikh
Rukn-ud-Din
Abul
Fateh
when
he
passed
away
in
1335.
The
dome
is
more
than
50
feet
in
diameter,
and
height
of
over
100
feet.
The
entire
complex
is
built
with
red
bricks
and
decorated
with
wonderful
woodwork.
Many
student
architects
visit
this
architecture
to
get
inspired
and
look
at
the
wonderful
piece
of
work.
Some
Artisans
left
their
marks
on
the
woodwork
–
Star
of
David.
I
had
seen
several
Mazar’s
pictures
with
pigeons
flying
around,
but
there
were
none
for
me.
They
were
all
lazily
perched
on
the
ground.
I
waited
for
several
minutes
to
see
if
they
will
fly
around
but
none
did.
Totally
disappointed!
tombs
are
several
centuries
old
and
draw
interested
visitors
from
far
places
within
Pakistan,
India,
and
Central
Asia.
The
most
spirtual
place
in
multan
near
to
ghanta
ghar
on
qila
kohna
qasim
bagh
multan.
Multan
is
indeed
city
of
saints
and
here
all
almost
70
thousands
plus
tombs
of
saints
in
the
city
but
Tomb
of
Hazrat
shah
Rukn
e
Alam
and
Hazrat
Bahaudin
zikriya
multani
is
mostly
visited
by
visitors
because
of
a
distinct
location
and
plenty
of
area
for
visitors
there.
Tourists
from
all
over
the
worls
visit
this
place
every
year
and
this
place
has
a
history...
management
of
the
tomb
are
very
greedy
ones.
They
try
their
best
to
loot
the
visitors
by
using
different
tacts
and
one
should
be
aware
of
them..
