#delveintopakistan #aghamkot #sindh Agham Kot historically known as Agham and today also called Aghamani or Aghamano, is a historical city and present-day ruin site located in Badin District, Sindh, Pakistan. It is located about 1.5 km northwest of the current town of Ghulab Khan Laghari, near the border with Hyderabad District Said to be named after its 7th-century founder, the Lohana king Agham Lohana, Agham Kot historically lay on the right bank of the Dhoro, a branch of the Indus River that is now dried up. Because of this strategic location on an important waterway, Agham Kot was an important commercial centre in its heyday. Today, the site of Agham Kot consists of several mounds that rise 3-5 m above the surrounding farmland and are spread across an area of 200 acres Some of these mounds are crowned with old mosques or tombs, which are all in poor condition. Some tombs belong to Sufi saints and draw pilgrims from throughout Sindh Only a small portion of the city's old fort is still standing.
