Uch Sharif



Uch or Uch Sharif (Punjabi, Urdu: اوچ شریف) is located in 75 km from Bahawalpur in Punjab province, Pakistan. Uch is an historical city in Pakistan. Formerly located at the confluence of the Indus and Chenab rivers, it is now removed some 13 km from that confluence. It was an important center in medieval India, as an early stronghold of the Delhi Sultanate in the 13th century during the Muslim conquest. Uch Sharif contains the tombs of Bibi Jawindi, Baha’al-Halim and Jalaluddin Bukhari, which are considered master pieces of Islamic architecture and are on the UNESCO World Heritage Site tentative list.
