Her shrine is located at this graveyard visited by many of her followers. Other big shrine is that of Shah Bilawal with its own tiny cemetery a few miles of Kunri town, visited by people of high and mighty spiritual elevation.There are small numbers of Christian, Ahmadis and Hindus who in part due to the fact that many people decided not to move to India during the independence of Pakistan in 1947 because of Kunri's Sufi and tolerant culture.
