Here are some things no one knows about ''Chowkandi Graveyard"

The "Chowkandi Graveyard", named after the 600-year-old city of 'Shehar-e-khamoshaan', has a history buried in itself. This Graveyard is located behind the Razzaqabad Police Training Center near Steel Town, about 38 km from Karachi.

What does Chowkandi mean?

The Chowkandi is called the "four corners". All the tombs here have four corners, which is probably why it is known as the "Chokundi Graveyard". The tombs here are said to belong to the "Jokhio" and "Baloch" tribes. Domes are supported by pillars.

The Chokundi Graveyard is in a way divided into two parts. The number of graves is low in the eastern part and very high in the western part. The locals say that in the eastern part of the graveyard are the graves of the Jokhio tribe while in the western part are the graves of the Baloch people.

The Chokundi Graveyard is a masterpiece of architecture and sculpture and is historically one of the most important graveyards in Pakistan.

All the tombs here are made of more sandstone. Rectangular tombs are usually two and a half feet wide, five feet long and four to six feet high. The tombs are regularly carved.

The painting features flowers, various designs, headbands and latticework similar to the crowns of Egyptian kings. Tall domes have been erected on some of the tombs, indicating that ordinary people are not buried in the Chokundi Graveyard.

Men's graves are marked with swordsmanship, horsemanship and swords, daggers, etc., while women's graves are decorated with beautiful ornaments.

Some people say about this place that at night, usually after sunset, there are screams and noises, but there is no conclusive proof as to how true this is.
