The story

Mohenjo-daro Heritage Festival in Larkana/Mohenjo-daro

This entry most closely matches the 2014 Sindh Festival, a controversial provincial government event launched by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari with its inauguration ceremony staged directly at the Mohenjo-daro archaeological site, rather than a distinct, ongoing Mohenjo-daro Heritage Festival.

Mohenjo-daro, one of the great cities of the Bronze Age Indus Valley Civilization and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Larkana district, became the site of a genuinely significant and controversial cultural event in January and February 2014, when the Pakistan Peoples Party government of Sindh, under Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, launched its provincial Sindh Festival with an inauguration ceremony staged directly at the archaeological ruins.

Archaeologists objected publicly and forcefully - the head of Archaeology at Punjab University stated that visitors should not even be able to hammer a nail into such a site - and a case was filed in the Sindh High Court seeking to bar the government from continuing activity there, over fears that excavation work, drilling, and generator use for the festival could damage the unexcavated ruins
