Jhamo Bhayos Grave, Kashmore

Help Us to find its location on the map and recent photographs.

Jhamo Bhayo or the Jhaman was the masonry worker at Torri Bungalow. He possessed a record height of 13 feet (as mentioned and marked by the British officers on the building of Torri Bungalow). He died during unknown times. The where about of his close heirs are also hitherto not known. Even the location of the last resting place of this poor man but with an extraordinary stature was also hitherto unknown, but after seeking clue for Arbab Khan Bhayo, a senior staffer of the Torri Bungalow, we moved to Dunyapur graveyard behind Raja Bijarani Village and made a serious hunt for the long grave. After brief survey of the treeless graveyard we spotted an old muddy grave overgrown with weeds and was measured as 13 feet in length. Very surprisingly the local villagers living in the surrounding areas (mostly Bhayos) didn't know about Jhamo. We offered fateha on his grave and demarcated the grave. The name Jhamo is proverbially used in the area for the persons of long height.

If the human records of the past or the present were analysed and checked independently, Jhamo Bhayo would certainly qualify to be declared as longest ever man of both the centuries.
