Note 43 — Chapter IV · WORSHIP OF ANCESTORS AND SAINTS.
Reading edition
12. Panch or Five Pirs:—The tombs of these Pirs are situated in Dahurā, each of them measuring about twenty-seven feet. A miracle is attributed to these tombs in the phenomenon that they can never be accurately measured, each attempt at measurement giving a different result. Women whose sons die in infancy make vows in honour of the Panch Pirs, and take them to their tombs on their attaining a certain age, where they observe fakiri43 for ten days.44
