Sawi Mosque is a mosque located in Mohalla Tolay Khan, northwest Multan, Pakistan.[1][2]

Architecture

It is a unique, roofless structure enclosing several graves.[1] Despite its commonly known as a mosque, it more closely resembles an embellished wall around a significant burial site, featuring mosque-like elements for onsite devotion.[1]

Its intricately decorated wall, bearing Quranic inscriptions and Persian couplets, indicates the grave likely belongs to a person of prominence or wealth.[1] However, the actual identities associated with the centrally placed gravestones remain undisclosed, with the only named occupant being Safar Quli, who died in 999 AH (June 1591 CE).[1]

The verse inscription credit goes to Zakariyya bin Ustad Muhammed, while a Hamiyyat Allah of Balharre claims authorship of the verses on a tombstone's reverse side.[1]
