Its under renovation n closed for visitors, but awesome place for history lovers
Hyderabad stating that the citys Endowment Fund Trust has undertaken to restore the tomb of Mir Karam Ali Khan Talpur (d. 1828) is heartening. Part of a declared national heritage complex in Hyderabads Hirabad district, the Talpur rulers (1784-1843) tombs have for years been a much-neglected site. Despite being protected under the law, the historical graveyard complex was allowed to fall into a state of disrepair and neglect, with heaps of garbage dumped there. Plans are now afoot to restore to the complex its due sanctity, which is only befitting to the memory of the late rulers who were known for their love and patronage of the arts and artists. Mir Karam Ali himself was a poet, and the Diwan-i-Karam , a collection of his poetry in Persian, won him considerable recognition in Iran, with reprints appearing to this day. The Talpurs were dethroned with the British annexation of Sindh under Charles Napier, and thus came to an end an era marked by their cultural refinement.Now that the provinces have become the official custodians of the historical monuments and sites located within their respective boundaries, with practically no federal oversight, conservation of such heritage sites should get the deserved priority. Many sites of historical significance lie in a state of decay, especially in the northern Sindh and southern Punjab districts, and those in Khairpur and Uch, respectively, readily come to mind. The logical means to conserve such structures is through further devolution of provincial powers and resources to the district level. The provincial government can play its role at the umbrella level by creating awareness amongst students and the public by arranging heritage moots and through textbooks. Unless the people know and own their cultural and historical heritage, they will remain oblivious to the respect such sites deserve. (Source Dawn News)
Historical place situates near heerabad and pathan colony

Historical place for history lovers.
Do beautiful
Worth visiting ! Tombs are in good condition but need restoration with proper green area
Run down a lot but worth a trip. The gates are closed by you can knock on the guards door on the left to have him open it. No nice place to sit as it has no regular maintenance done but a 15 min walk is all you can do. I liked the atmosphere and lack of crowd or trash which is normal for such places.
Talpurs tombs are in shambles. Need restoration. Only the tombs owned by endowment are in good condition and worth visiting.
Very nice city
The Tombs of Talpur Mirs (also referred to as Cubbas and Miran ja Quba) are a collection of tombs, located in the neighbourhood of Hirabad in Hyderabad. The tombs are of the ruling Talpur Mirs of Sindh, who reigned from 1784 to 1843.All the tombs of Talpur Mirs are enclosed in an area preserved by the city municipality to promote them as a tourist attraction. Once a magnificent burial ground for the Talpur rulers, this place now has several preservation concerns. As of 30 March 2011, the Culture Department, Government of Sindh retained the charge for these monuments, following a devolution of the government to provinces. Since then, there has been slow and steady restoration work on preserving these monuments.
Its a very wonder full place
The Tombs of Talpur Mirs (Urdu: میران تالپور کے مقبرے) are a complex of tombs of the ruling Talpur Mirs of Sindh who reigned from 1784 to 1843. The tombs are also known as Cubbas (the Sindhi word for tombs). These tombs are located in Hirabad, Hyderabad in the Sindh province of Pakistan.The tombs complex hosts large mausoleums for Talpur rulers while they are several smaller mausoleums for their wives, consorts and infant children. There are several graves in the external area that are uncovered and unmarked, apart from a few exceptions. The graves are mostly made out of marble and usually have Quranic verses inscribed on their surfaces.Once a magnificent burial ground for the Talpur rulers, this place now has several preservation concerns.

As regards to their Tomb architecture, the Talpurs took due advantage of the various styles of architecture prevalent in the periods prior to their rule in Sindh. Their domed mausolea were much influenced by the Kalhorah funerary architecture, which owes its origin to pre-Mughul architectural traditions. At some places, there are stone pavilions enshrining the mortal remains of certain Talpur chiefs and nobles. These stone pavilions have got their roots in the indigenous architectural devices, provided to serve as an entrance to the burial chamber.
