Mandum Waro Bunglow, Khairpur

The red color bungalow situated in the middle of Kot Diji town, which recently housed the offices of National Bank of Pakistan is fastly decaying monument in the wake of sheer negligence of its owners or the administration at large. The hose was made to accommodate French lady named Mad Maazil Diflo, who was hired by the then ruler Mir Ali Nawaz Khan Talpur to impart education to the then young prince Mir Faiz Muhammad II. That is how it became famous as Mandum Waro Bungalow (Madam’s Bungalow). She was offered free accommodation with Rs 1000 as monthly remuneration. The bungalow has a separate accommodation arrangement for its retainers. A line of quarters with huge compound, which were the part of this bungalow are also at the verge of collapse.

Excavated ruins of Mohenjo-daro, Pakistan
Mohenjo-daro (Urdu: موئن جودڑو, Sindhi: موئن جو دڙو, English: Mound of the dead) was a city of the Indus Valley Civilization built around 2600 BC and is located in the Sindh Province of Pakistan. This ancient five thousand year old city is the largest of Indus Valley and is widely recognized as one of the most important early cities of South Asia and the Indus Valley Civilization. Mohenjo Daro was one of the world’s first cities and contemporaneous with ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations. It is sometimes referred to as "An Ancient Indus Valley Metropolis".

The recent excavations at Harappa were begun in 1986 by the American team of the Harappa Archaeological Research Project jointly with the Department of Archaeology and Museums of Pakistan. New discoveries and reevaluations of previously excavated areas have contributed greatly to our understanding of this site, which was the type-site of the Harappan (or Indus) Civilization.
The site was inhabited continuously from at least 3300 B.C. until several hundred years after the decline of the Indus Civilization (the "Cemetery H" Culture at Harappa), which represents one of the longest periods of occupation at any Indus site. Recent excavations have focused on the development of the Indus script and the early and late phases of the Indus Civilization at Harappa. (For more details, see the link for "Harappa.com".)
