Summary

Description
English: From 1701 to 1783 AD, Kalhora dynasty was ruling Sindh and some other parts of present Pakistan .After weakening of the Mughal empire, governor Yar Muhammad Khan Kalhora was holding the helm of affairs of Sindh. The Kalhora rule is also known as the golden period of Sindh. Talpurs defeated Kalhoras in 1783 and thereafter became rulers of Sindh.Khuda Abad was then the capital of Kalhora dynsty.

Musjed Khuda Abad is a best architectural symbol of Kalhora period. It is built on a rectangular podium on at plan of 57x37.5 meters and is well known for its "Kashi" work .This mosque is situated near Dadu on the road towards Sehwen Sharif, Sind, Pakistan and its geographical coordinates are 26° 38' 48" North, 67° 44' 23" East.

Presently this beautiful piece of Kalhora history and architecture is turning into debris. Due to relentless and lethargic attitude of Archeological Deptt and Muhkama-e-Oukaf Most of its tile work has witherd away . Almost 70 % of its beautiful roofs and dooms are fallen down and it is sadly expected that within one decade this place will be washed away and will be found in only photos.
