For the first time, the Government of Pakistan (GoP) has embarked on a promising journey to boost and revive religious tourism, recognizing its vast untapped potential. With a thorough plan in place, the government aims to restore and highlight various religious sites cherished by different faiths. These tourism policies are not just about economic growth but also emphasize preserving Pakistan’s culturally rich heritage.
Pakistan is a mosaic of ethnic groups, religious rituals, and vibrant festivals. This diversity stems from settlers who brought their unique traditions, built places of worship, and integrated their practices with local customs. As a result, festivals like Holi, Diwali, Christmas, and Easter have become an essential part of the Pakistani cultural landscape. This blend has not only enriched the country’s heritage but has created a strong foundation for promoting religious tourism.
Now, lets look at some of the hidden gems and restoration effects
Sadh Belo Temple
Located on an island near Sukkur along the Indus River, this sacred Hindu site includes multiple temples and a library. The Waqf Board has overseen renovations, ensuring it remains a focal point for religious tourism and pilgrimage.
Darbar Khwaja Ghulam Farid
The tomb of the celebrated Sufi poet Khwaja Ghulam Farid in Punjab has also been restored. Known for his deeply spiritual Punjabi and Saraiki poetry, the shrine attracts followers who study “Faridiyat,” the field dedicated to his works.
Bibi Jawindi Tomb
The historical Tomb of Bibi Jawindi in Uch Sharif has been recognized for its significance and proposed for UNESCO listing. This 15th-century structure reflects the rich Sufi traditions that permeate the region.
