Pir Mangho

Sheikh Hafiz Haji Hasan-al-Maroof Sultan Manghopir or Pir Mangho (Sindhi and Urdu: خواجہ حسن سخی سلطان عرف منگھو پیر) is the popular name for 13th century Sufi Pir Haji Syed Khawaja Hassan Sakhi Sultan.

Great luminaries of the spiritual world, such as Bahauddin Zakariya, Lal Shahbaz Qalander, Jalaluddin Bokhari often visited Manghopir.

The crocodiles are an integral part of the shrine and are so tightly interwoven with the story of the saint that it is almost impossible to judge between fact & fiction.

Archaeological investigations have also found the existence of a Bronze Age settlement (2500-1700 BC) at Manghopir, who worshipped crocodiles.

Scientific analysis has shown that this warm water is naturally saturated with carbon dioxide, besides containing some sulphur which is considered good for treating some skin diseases.

The urs marks the death anniversary of Pir Mangho and is held annually in the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah.
