Shrine of Manghopir & Crocodile Santuary

Manghopir shrine, known for its pond of crocodiles and a sulfur spring, dates back centuries. Locals believe the crocodiles are linked to the Sufi saint Mangho, who settled here in the 13th century. The Sheedi community, descendants of African slaves, hold an annual festival here, though it was paused due to local violence. The festival is set to resume after recent security improvements. Legends say the crocodiles were once lice, transformed by the saint, but scientists think they arrived through an ancient flood. These crocodiles have peacefully lived here for generations, fed by followers.
