Shadaram birth anniversary is annually held in Paush month (December
– January) at the famous Shadani Darbar in Ghotki in Sindh in Pakistan
Legend has it that According to the legend, Ghulam Shah
Kalhoro, the ruler of Sindh, intimidated Hindus in 1700. Perturbed by his
actions, Hindus prayed to Shiva at Mathelo. One night the Sarpanch of the area
saw Shiva in his dream. Shiva told him that he had taken birth in the form of
Shadaram in Lahore
Shri Shadaram came to Mathelo in 1768 and called forth Dhuni
Saheb there. When Kalhoro insulted a Hindu widow, Shri Shadaram cursed the
ruler, saying that Kalhoro would lose the kingdom.
Shri Shadaram’s words came true and Kalhoro lost his kingdom
and died in misery.
After that Shadaram shifted to Hayat Pitafi and laid the foundation
of the Shadani Darbar.
Hindus from India sometimes get permission to participate in the
Shadani Darbar at Hayat Pitafi in Ghotki in Sindh in Pakistan
