Manghopir is one of the oldest areas of Karachi. Situated in the north of this bustling, chaotic and sprawling city of Karachi,Pakistan, it is most famous for the shrine of Sufi saint, Pir Mangho.
The unique bit about this centuries-old shrine is a vast pond and a sulphur spring. The pond is populated by dozens of crocodiles who are regularly fed by visitors to the shrine.
They believe the crocodiles are manifestations of the Sufi saint.
The shrine is mentioned in ancient texts from the area and also in the writings of 19th century British colonialists. According to some historians, the crocodiles have been here for centuries.
