Abstract

This paper deals with the folk tale murals that decorate the Jamali tombs in Shahdadkot tehsil, Shahdadkot-Qambar district. In every nook and corner of Sindh there are storytellers who narrate folk tales in a rhythmic manner to amuse both the rural folk and themselves. Folk tales also influenced poets and painters of the land. In order to express their feelings some painters produced folk tale depictions on many tombs in Sindh, particularly on Jamali tombs in Qambar-Shahdadkot district.
