Description
Sonda was founded by the Samma ruler Jam Tamachi in the 3rd quarter of the fourteenth century and was revered by the Muslims of the area due to the noble family of saints, the Makhdums. It is here in this graveyard that the saintly personages are buried. Most of the yellowish stone tombs were once embellished with Quranic verses, floral and geometrical patterns and human representations; however, little has survived of these splendid graves.
