Hala

Hala lies in the Indus plain north of Hyderabad in Sindh. Its artisans are known for glazed pottery and decorated tiles, while the nearby settlement of Bhit is associated with Shah Abdul Latif, the celebrated Sindhi Sufi poet. Born near Hala in 1689, he established a community at Bhit, or the sandhill, where his shrine later drew devotees. His poetry brought together stories and voices of Sindh in a lasting expression of devotion and longing.
