History of Shikarpur
Shikarpur is one of Pakistan's notable cities in Sindh, with a heritage shaped by centuries of trade, migration and regional culture. Its old bazaars, colonial-era civic buildings, religious shrines and surrounding landscape reflect the layered history of the area — from pre-partition times through the Mughal, Sikh and British eras to its present role as a growing urban centre. Local festivals, traditional crafts and family-run eateries keep the city's character alive for visitors and locals alike.
