Sakhi Sarwar's shrine
ਸਖੀ ਸਰਵਰ ਦੀ ਦਰਗਾਹ
Shrine of Lakhdata Pir in the foothills of the Suleiman range, once the goal of a great pilgrimage of Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims.
Sayyid Ahmad Sultan, called Sakhi Sarwar, Lakhdata and Lalanwala, was a 12th-century saint whose shrine stands at the foot of the Suleiman mountains in Dera Ghazi Khan district.
Until 1947 his followers, the Sultanias, many of them Hindu and Sikh peasants of the central Punjab, walked here every spring behind their drummers. Small shrines to him, called Nigaha, still stand in villages of Indian Punjab.
