Fresh day in Multan
I woke up
early in the morning. I went outside the hotel for breakfast. I had my
breakfast with well know breakfast in Pakistan called as “halwa poorie”.It was delicious.
The tradition here was almost the same in various cities that I had visited.
People were wearing shalwar kameez.anyways, the weather was really hot.
Multan is
very nearby to the desert. As mentioned above in previous post. It is consider being
city of saints. The city has many bazaars, masjid sharines.Multan is considered
to be the oldest city of Pakistan about 6000 years back. First trip was going
to Multan fort. This fort was built in between 800 to 1000 B.C.Beautiful Park
was just side by the fort known as fort kohana qasim garden. There were benches
but I was not able to sit because the weather was hot. At last, I saw a place
where there was a sunshade. I sat there for a while and entered the fort. I had
Goosebumps when I entered the fort.
It was
designed in such a beautiful way. It looked very old. There were total 4 gates
to this fort. Qasim gate, khizri gate, sikhi gate, hareri gate. Out of these
four gates qasim gate survived other were all destroyed. This place had a long
history.afterwards, I moved to a new location known as shah yousuf gardezi tomb.
It was fully crowded with many people. The building structure was really amazing.
Shah Gardez was an Islamic saint who came to Multan to preach many of the people.
It is said that he converted many non Muslims to Muslims.It is said that he
came from Afghanistan. The shrine interior is decorated with glass and it was
covered in blue tile work. Afterwards, I was really hungry decided to go to resultant
so that I can eat. After eating spicy foods in Multan.i planned to visit one
more famous location.
The name of
the location was Nigar khana.This is also consider to be tourist attraction.It
is also known to be house of arts. This place if famous for 45 years because of
selling handicrafts and cultural objects over 45 years. I met the person who
runs this. His name was Abdul waheed.He had been running this for the past 30 years.
Almost all the foreigners do visit this place. He was telling me president of
turkey, Saudi also visited this place. It was getting dark and was hot.i decided
to go back to the hotel.
