Multan City of Saints : My last stop after Darawar fort and Bhawalpur was Multan (14/15-2-2008) also known as "the city of Saints". There are lots of Tombs in this city. City is in Punjab province and about 700 Km from Islamabad the capital. In the 7th century, Multan was conquered along with Sindh by the army of Muhammad bin Qasim the city was securely under Muslim rule, although it was in effect an independent state.The city was attacked twice by Mahmud of Ghazni who destroyed the Sun Temple and broke its giant Idol. Under the Mughal Empire,Multan enjoyed over 200 years of peace, and became known as Dar al-Aman (Abode of Peace). (Wikipedia) ,Saraiki Language is spoken .I was there for just few hours was not able to wander in whole city hence these photos are shot at only one place known as Kila where famous Rukn-i-Alam and Bahud deen Zakria's tombs are situated.

Darawar Fort Cholistan : The Rohi, or Cholistan, is a barren desert tract, bounded on the north and west by the Hakra depression with ruins of old settlements along its high banks; it is still inhabited by nomads. It is at a distance of 30 km. from Bahawalpur. The word 'Cholistan' is derived from the word 'cholna' which means moving.

It covers an area of about 16,000 square km and extends into the Thar Desert of India. The region was once watered by the Hakra River, known as the Saravati in vedic times.

At one time there were 400 forts in the area and archaeological finds around the Darawar Fort, the only place with a perennial waterhole.

The average annual rainfall is only 12 cm, and the little cultivation is made possible by underground wells, drawn up by the camels. The water is stored in troughs, built by the tribes, between sandhills and din waterholes called tobas.

The forts here were built at 29 km intervals, which probably served as guard posts for the camel caravan routes. There were three rows of these forts. the first line of forts began from Phulra and ended in Lera, the second from Rukhanpur to Islamgarh, and the third from Bilcaner to Kapoo. They are all in ruins now, and you can see that they were built with double walls of gypsum blocks and mud. Some of them date back to 1000 BC, and were destroyed and rebuilt many times. Cholistan also boasts of many old forts such as Derawar,Vingrot, Banwar, Marcot, Wilhar, Maujgharh, Mao, Phuira and Din-gharh etc.
This whole fort is made of clay and bricks and hight is 30 meters
