Schewan
Sehwan (the Schewan of early records) is an ancient town in the Sindh province of Pakistan on the west bank of the Indus, revered for the shrine of the Sufi saint Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. One of the oldest settlements of Sindh, it stood on the great river route. Established as a post town under Company rule, its pre-1854 and early markings document the mail of the middle Indus valley.
