The city has a long association with Sufism. In the 18th Century Syeds from Multan migrated and settled in the city's Tando Jahania neighbourhood, making it a sacred place for Muslims. The "Syeds" came from Uch Sharif, via Jahanian, 42 km from Multan). They were mostly descendants of Jahaniyan Jahangasht - a Sufi saint who is popular in Sindh and southern Punjab. Hyderabad is near some of Sindh's most important Sufi shrines, being situated from the joint Muslim-Hindu Shrine at Odero Lal, from the Shrine of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, from the Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar.
