Sehwan

Sehwan (Sindhi: سيوهڻ شريف; Urdu: سہون شریف), also commonly referred to as Sehwan Sharif (meaning Noble Sehwan) is a historic city located in Jamshoro District of the Sindh province in Pakistan. It is situated on the west bank of the Indus River, approximately 130 kilometers (80 miles) northwest of Hyderabad, Sindh. The city is best known for being the site of one of Pakistan's most prominent Sufi shrines, the Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. Sehwan holds the administrative status of a taluka within the Jamshoro District. Historically, it was part of the Dadu District until the creation of Jamshoro District, when it was incorporated into the new administrative unit.

Sehwan is recognized as one of Pakistan's most significant spiritual and pilgrimage centers. It holds a central place in the country's Sufi heritage, alongside other prominent shrines such as the Shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi in Karachi, the Data Durbar Complex in Lahore, Bari Imam in Noorpur Shahan near Islamabad, and the revered tombs of the Suhrawardi Sufis in Multan. These sites collectively reflect the deep-rooted Sufi traditions that have shaped the religious and cultural landscape of the region for centuries.
