Sakar, Shikarpur District, Sindh. Island and shrine of Zind Pir. Photographer: Cousens, Henry
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Faded print. View looking across the causeway towards the entrance to the tomb. 'Upon the upper side of Bukkur, and joined to it at low water, is the compact little island upon which, under the cool shade of some large trees, is the famous shrine of Zinda or 'Jind' Pir. The island has been raised and protected against the corrosion of the river by retaining walls of strong rubble masonry all around. The great gateway facing Rohri is a far more imposing structure than the mean little domed shrine itself. The latter occupies the centre of the island, and is a remarkable plain small square building surmounted by a low dome...' (Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of Western India, for the year ending 30th June 1897, p. 8).
