Chaukundi : Just off the National Highway, 27 Kms. from Karachi, is Chaukundi. This is the site of graveyards that date back to the 16-18 centuries. The sandstone covers of these graves are exquisitely carved in relief with intricate motifs. The tomb slabs of women’s graves are embellished with designs of jewellery, necklaces, earrings and rings while those of men bear horse-and-rider motifs as well as floral and abstract designs.
