Which city is popularly known as the “Eden of Sindh”?

The city of Larkana is popularly known as the “Eden of Sindh” due to its lush greenery, fertile lands, and natural beauty that make it one of the most picturesque regions in the province of Sindh, Pakistan. Located on the banks of the River Indus, Larkana has been a center of agriculture and culture for centuries. Its fertile soil produces rich crops such as rice, wheat, and sugarcane, contributing greatly to Sindh’s economy. The pleasant landscape, combined with its cultural richness, earned it the poetic title “Eden of Sindh,” symbolizing its beauty and prosperity.

Larkana is also historically and politically significant. It is the hometown of Pakistan’s famous political family, the Bhuttos, including former Prime Ministers Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto. The city attracts thousands of visitors each year who come to pay their respects at the Garhi Khuda Bakhsh Mausoleum, where members of the Bhutto family are buried.

In addition to its political heritage, Larkana is close to Mohenjo-Daro, one of the most important archaeological sites of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization. This proximity adds to Larkana’s historical and cultural charm, making it not only the “Eden of Sindh” but also a symbol of Sindh’s ancient legacy and modern pride.
