Shrine at Odero Lal, Dargah in Matiari District, Pakistan.

The shrine incorporates a mosque for Muslim prayers and a temple for Hindu worship, featuring colored glass interiors and wind-catching towers.

The shrine, completed in 1684, emerged during Mughal rule when the region near Tando Adam belonged to the administrative district of Nasarpur.

Muslims recognize the saint as Sheikh Tahir, while Hindus venerate him as Odero Lal, with both communities maintaining joint custody of the shrine.

The complex spans 18 acres of agricultural land, generating revenue for maintenance, with separate entrances leading to different prayer areas.

During the 1990s Babri Masjid incident, this Hindu temple received protection from Muslim devotees, marking it as exceptional in the subcontinent.
