Mewa Shah Graveyard information


Mewa Shah Graveyard[1][2][3][4] (Urdu: میوە شاه قبرِستان) is located in SITE Town, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, and is one of the largest and oldest graveyards of Karachi. This graveyard is spread over 1,000 acres and runs alongside the Lyari River. It has the graves of Muslims, Christians, Hindus and Jews.[1]

It is named after the 19th Century Sufi, Mewa Shah, who struggled against the British colonial rule in Karachi, British India. He was jailed and eventually exiled by the British. According to the legend, Mewa Shah climbed the ship taking him into exile, said his prayers on the waves of the Arabian Sea and mounted a large fish which took him back to the shores of Karachi.[3][5]
