Brahmanabad is located 18km away at south east of Shahdadpur, which came into existence in 8th Century AD and came into end in the 13th century.
For casual visitor like me there is nothing much besides the foundation of a mosque and the last remaining portion of a Hindu temple.
Remains of Mosque
Part of Hindu Temple which survived
It lies upon the open sandy plain, in rolling heaps of brick debris, scored and cross-scored with the depressions of its original streets, and en girdled by the ruins of its own massive walls and bastions.
Brahmanabad is surrounded by lush green fields harvested with local crops and surprisingly this area is exactly opposite vs the surrounding having a mystical silence just like a graveyard.
It is said that Brahmanabad was destroyed by fire from sky and by an earthquake on account of the wickedness of it's ruler the remains in form of broken walls seem to prove that the place really was destroyed by some terrible convulsion of nature or by the Almighty.
Numerous coins and other valuables have already been discovered, carved figures in ivory, engravings, and agate, a set of ivory chessmen, most probably moved to museums leaving broken structure and some graves on the heritage site.
According to historians, Brahmanabad was a beautiful city with orchards of mangoes, groves of date palms and today only ruins are there spread over few miles as a prove of disaster which toppled the city vanishing everyone living there.
Drivetime from Karachi: 3 hours and 30 minutes and easily accessible through normal car.
For those who wish to visit can search the location as Stupa of Brahmanabad through google maps.
