Tombs of Talpur Mirs

Tombs of Talpur Mirs
Entrance to the tombs of the Talpur Mirs. Although the city municipality has taken measures to preserve, maintain and promote these tombs, clearly not much is done in that regard.

The tombs of Talpur Mirs (also referred to as Cubbas) are a collection of tombs of the ruling Talpur Mirs of Sindh and are located in the neighbourhood of Hirabad in the city of Hyderabad, Sindh. All tombs are enclosed in an area preserved by the city municipality to promote them as a tourist attraction. This enclosure encompasses tombs of Talpur Mirs that ruled from 1784 to 1843.
