Reminiscence of Chaukandi Tombs leaves many spell-bound. Depicting the early Islamic cemetery, Chaunkandi Tombs offer not much more beyond remarkable elaborate sandstone carvings. Known to be the family graveyard of the Jokhio tribe, the tombs were mainly built during Mughal rule sometime during 15th and 18the centuries. The more elaborate graves are constructed with a buff-colored sandstone. Their carved decoration displays expert craftsmanship and has often kept remarkably well over time. Tombs were constructed either as single graves or as groups of up to eight graves, raised on a common platform. The tombs are embellished with geometrical designs and motifs, including figural representations such as mounted horsemen, hunting scenes, arms and jewelry.
