The story

Noorani Urs Festival in Khuzdar/Noorani

Noorani Urs is the annual death-anniversary commemoration of the Sufi saint Shah Noorani, also called Shah Bilawal Noorani, held at his shrine near Khuzdar, Balochistan, drawing large numbers of devotees each year in a pilgrimage that gained tragic international attention after a 2016 suicide bombing killed dozens during the festival.

Shah Noorani, venerated by devotees as Shah Bilawal Noorani, is among Balochistan's most significant Sufi saints, and the shrine built in his honor near Khuzdar has become one of the province's major annual pilgrimage destinations, drawing devotees from across Balochistan and beyond for his urs, the death-anniversary commemoration observed at Sufi shrines throughout the region.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Shah Noorani's shrine is one of Balochistan's most significant Sufi pilgrimage sites, drawing devotees from across the province and beyond each year for an urs that functions as a major annual gathering point for Balochistan's Sufi devotional community, distinct from the separately located, differently venerated Hinglaj shrine roughly a hundred and fifty kilometers away in Lasbela district

02

The mystery stays covered

The shrine's prominence was tragically underscored on November 12, 2016, when a suicide bombing during urs festivities killed at least forty-five people, by some counts more than fifty, and injured over a hundred more, an attack that drew extensive international coverage and confirmed the event's scale and significance well beyond regional reporting
