=Khudabad, Bombay, 1908=

Ruined town in the Dadu  of Larkana District, 
Sind, Bombay, situated in 26 degree  40 degree N. and 67 degree 46'' E., 16 miles north- 
east of Sehwan on the North-Western Railway. Thornton writes of it 
as follows : — 

Little more than thirty years ago it rivalled Hyderabad in size and 
population ; yet now not one habitable dwelling remains. It was a 
favourite residence of the Talpur chiefs of Sind, and the remains -of 
many of them rest here in tombs of neat but plain construction.' 

At present the chief objects of interest are the Masjid, built in 17 10, 
and decorated with coloured tiles ; and the tomb of Yar Muhammad 
Kalhora, about a mile away, which is similarly decorated. The tomb 
is in fair repair, but the mosque has been greatly damaged and is 
falling into ruin.

''Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''
