Architecture and Restoration of the Tombs of Suhagan and Duhaghan
تلخیص
The tombs of Suhagan and Duhagan built in naked brick
architecture are located, in Taluka Rohri, District Sukkur. The naked
brick/exposed brick style of architecture is known to have come to this
region from Afghanistan and later found in Baluchistan and southern
Punjab and are considered to be of Ghorid period. According to a
popular belief as pointed out by Dr. Ahmed Nabi Khan (1987-88), both
these tombs belonged to Shakar Ganj and Khatal-al-Din Shah which
were constructed in the late 12
th and early 13th century A.D. Badar Abro is
also of the same opinion that these tombs were constructed in Ghorid
period and belonged to Shakar Ganj and Khatal-al-Din Shah. The details
of the cut brick panels on both the tombs are marvelous and are
compared in the paper.
Recently Endowment Fund Trust for Preservation of the Heritage
of Sindh (hereafter EFT) has restored the Tombs of Suhagan and
Duhagan. Author is thankful to CDC-EFT Jamshoro for providing
