SUKKUR:
The banks of the mighty River Indus and its tributaries have nourished human settlements for as long as human history stretches. It was the site where one of the world’s three original civilisations took root and in the centuries that followed, multiple thriving cultures, industries and economies were nourished.
But settlements and craft is not all the Indus has sustained. Along its banks emerged a rich spiritual tradition that finds little parallel elsewhere.
