Thatta, Historic city in Sindh Province, Pakistan

The Shah Jahan Mosque features 33 arched domes and detailed tile work in various shades of blue, representing Persian architectural influence in South Asia.

Thatta maintained its position as the capital of three successive Sindhi dynasties from 1335 to 1665, governing the region through substantial political transitions.

The extensive Makli Necropolis spans twelve square kilometers, containing thousands of carved stone monuments that represent regional architectural traditions.

The local economy centers on cotton production, silk garment manufacturing, and traditional handicrafts, with sugarcane cultivation in the surrounding agricultural areas.

The city's position near the Indus River delta created specific construction methods adapted to the swampy terrain, influencing local architectural development.
