About Khalid Waleed Shrine
The Shrine of Khalid Waleed is a Sufi shrine located in the village of Nawan Sheher, near the Kabirwala. The shrine is dedicated to the 12th century warrior-saint Khalid Waleed. The shrine dates from the period of the medieval Delhi Sultanate, and may be the earliest Muslim funerary monument in South Asia. The tomb dates back to the last quarter of the 12th Century, and the early decades of the 13th century. The shrine bears an inscription stating that the shrine was built by Ali bin Karamakh, who served as Governor of Multan during the reign of Muhammad of Ghor. The tomb was rediscovered and identified as the shrine of Khalid Walid by Dr. Ahmad Nabi Khan and Kamil Khan.
