Just inside the Bohar Gate stands the Shrine of Shah Yousaf Gardezi, the most photogenic of Multan's tombs. The mausoleum is a rectangular, flat-roofed building — unusually domeless among the city's great shrines — and its entire exterior is faced in tightly worked blue, white and green glazed tile, in floral panels and geometric medallions. The work was commissioned in the early seventeenth century by the saint's descendants, and is one of the finest surviving examples of pre-Mughal Multani kashi-kari.
Shah Yousaf himself was a Persian-born saint who arrived in the city around 1088 AD and is credited by local tradition with founding the present urban settlement of Multan. The shrine is active, with daily devotional gatherings and a major urs in the spring.
