Vinjrot is situated in a flat barren plain about five miles south of Reti
railway station in taluka Ubauro, about sixty- three miles north-west of Rohri.
The area is covered with heaps of brick debris. Little is known of its history,
but enough has been found in the ruins to show that it was once an important
town. The artefacts, including coins, beads, and pottery, are similar to those
found among the ruins of Brahmanabad. H.G. Raverty, in The Mehran of Sindh,
says that it flourished in the days before the Hakra or Wahinda (see above)
ceased to flow, that it was once part of Muhan province, and that it was later
in the fief of a slave of Sultan Altamash of Delhi. Henry Cousens, in The
Antiquities of Sindh, states that the site was systematically investigated
in 1873 by two officers of the Indus Valley State Railway who published their
findings in The Indian Antiquary of January 1882.
Vinjrot is now totally deserted. It is situated in un surveyed area 106, covering
122 acres of deh Vinjrot in taluka Ubauro.
