Rohri Saaten jo Aashan (Sindhi: روهڙي ستين جو آستان) is a historical site in Sindh, Pakistan, where the graves of seven women are located. According to legend, these women were part of the army of Muhammad bin Qasim, who invaded Sindh in the 8th century.
They chose to live in a cave on the bank of the Indus river, and prayed to God to protect their honour from the Hindu ruler Raja Dahir. God answered their prayers and buried them alive in the cave.
