Shrine of Nuriya

The Shrine of Nuriya is an Islamic monument in Uch featuring intricate patterns woven into the walls and dome of the structure. The building displays ornamental details and geometric designs that reflect the craftsmanship of its era.

The shrine was built as a spiritual place honoring Ustad Nuriya and belongs to a series of important religious structures that developed in the region. Today it receives protection due to its historical and architectural value.

The shrine draws visitors who experience traditional ceremonies and gatherings honoring the teachings of Ustad Nuriya. People gather here to pray together and share in the spiritual meaning of the space.

The shrine is most easily reached by local transportation from Bahawalpur, with guided tours offered during daylight hours. Visitors should plan their visit during the cooler morning or early evening hours, as the grounds are open during daylight.

The shrine is part of a cluster of five significant structures in Uch Sharif that are currently under consideration as potential UNESCO World Heritage sites. This concentration makes Uch Sharif an unusual location for studying Islamic architecture in Punjab.
