This
old town is on the other side of the Indus, opposite Sukkur.
The ancient city of Aror is a few miles to the east, its ruins
lying on the edges of a low limestone range. Of its historical
past, not much remains. Places to visit in Rohri are : The
shrine of War Mubarak (1545) built by Mir Muhammad Kalhora.
A gold and jewel encrusted casket enshrines the hair of the
Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.), that is displayed to the faithful
for general viewing annually on the 2nd of March. On the outskirts
of Rohri is the SATHBHAINASTAN, the Tomb of the seven Virgin
Sisters. According to legend, vowed not to ever show themselves
to any man and had themselves locked in rooms. When a licentious
Nawab decreed that all beautiful girls be sent to him, one
legend has it, that the sisters were swallowed up by the ground
in a minor quake. Close to the War Mubarak is the Jamia (Akbari)
Mosque (1584) built by an officer of Emperor Akbar. Having
been frequently damaged and undergone repeated repairs, little
of the original wall-tiles remain.
