The shrine of saint Shah Sadaruddin Lakyari (Lakki Shah Sadar) is located on the Jamshoro-Dadu national highway, south of Sehwan. The place is also famous for sulfur springs for curing skin diseases. This was originally the site of a Hindu Shiva Temple on the bank of springs of Lakki Shah Sadar, but there is also a Muslim shrine here now. About eleven miles to the south of Sehwan is a small village of “Lakki” and about two miles from this village there are hot water springs that flow from the mountains. Since the flow of water was continuous it was also called “Dhara Tirath.” The springs bubble out at the base of an immense wall of rock, with a sponge-like texture and swirling lines, that rears straight up behind the Hindu temple. The nearby cave where Shah Sadar meditated is now a Muslim shrine.
Thanks to my colleague Mr.Zia I was able to see this amazing place famous for its mysterious spring, people there thought after taking a bath they were cured of all skin diseases. But do not be too fascinated by it, it is only a sulphuric water spring.
