Aror

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The medieval city of Aror is the original homeplace of the Arora community in the Punjab region of South Asia. It was the ancient capital of Sindh, which is now in Sukkur, Pakistan. In 711 AD Aror was captured by Islamic invaders and in 962 AD it was hit by a massive earthquake that changed the course of the Indus river.[1] After this, the Arora community left Aror and spread through other parts of the Punjab region.

In modern times, the once vibrant metropolis has been reduced to a small village. It used to be home to the popular Kalka Devi Mandir, one of the few temples in Pakistan, but this Hindu temple was burned in 1992 by Muslims in retaliation for the destruction of Babri Masjid in India.
