Share Our Heritage with the World

Kanayalal Cottage, a seven storeyed building facing Landsdowne bridge is one of the most beautiful building of twin towns of Sukkur and Rohri. Some portions of the building have been left unused and redundant because of reported spirit influence.

Kanayalal, wealthy Hindu merchant built this multi-storied building on the left bank of the river, soon after the opening of Sukkur Barrage. Each floor has a balcony with elegant wood work.

Following the departure of its owner to India accompanying the mass exodus of 1947, the building fell vacant and remained without new occupants for many years. It is regarded as the tallest building of Rohri town. From its top, one is able to have glimpse of the entire town. The building is connected through spiral stairs.
