Shrine of Shah Shams Tabrez
دربار شاہ شمس سبزواری
This green-and-white shrine on the east side of the old city honors Shah Shams Sabzwari of the Ismaili tradition, and it is surrounded by many legends.
Shah Shams Sabzwari, often called “Tabrizi” by locals, came to Multan in the 13th century to preach. A popular legend says he made the sun drop roasted fish from the sky, which is why Multan is so hot. The current tomb was rebuilt in the 18th century. It has a square base and a dome covered in green glazed tiles, and believers often light lamps in the courtyard.
The shrine lies about 1 kilometer east of the fortress, near Shams Park, and you can reach it by auto-rickshaw.
Entry is free. Dress modestly.
