[3] In the southern group of tombs, two principal mausoleums that are nearest the entrance on the east and immediately behind it, contain the graves of four Mirs, while the rest are occupied by their wives and children.
The tiles are placed in multiple colours which primarily include blue floral patterns over white background.
In typical Talpur fashion, the marble graves have the actual royal turbans of these rulers placed upon a projection at the end of each.
The graves are etched with Quranic verses in Arabic, whilst some of the walls inside the mausoleums are decorated with poetry in Persian.
These are distinctly vaulted structures with jaalis on the door archways to show the dead buried within still observing purdah, as they would’ve in life.
[2] The tomb complex is now enclosed in a walled area in order to put a halt to the encroaching residential buildings surrounding the site.
Many of the crumbling tombs were “used by drug addicts and drifters for resting the night” whilst “local youngsters to play cricket during the day” in wide open spaces around the mausoleums.
The newly devolved Sindh government nevertheless shows a willingness to work towards improving these monuments and “mak[ing] right [the wrongs of] the past 63 years” under the former management.
