00:00Pakistan has been in the news a lot lately. Why? Well, there can't lie going through some

00:06palita caltemoy. Imran Kanisa former cricketer WHO became the prime minister of Pakistan and

00:12kept getting into trouble with the law for the option charges. And other things. There was so

00:18much tension that the military got involved and those took him from power. The public was behind

00:24him and his party still won the most amount of seats in the election. But then rival politicians

00:30blamed him for an assassination attempt and arrested him for that one, along with more

00:35caption charges. Now, all of this leads to a massive distrust between the public and their institutions.

00:42For example, 70% of people think that the elections were rigged and it seems like no one trusts each

00:49other anymore. All of this instability makes it a hard for tourists to visit Pakistan.

00:55Which is a shame because there are some amazing places to see there, like this shrine. It's called

01:01Yarat Babagundi and it's located in a small village in the Bowland desert. Non-Muslims aren't allowed

01:06past the shrine, which begs the question, why? Let's find out. First off, let's get over the elephant in

01:13the room. What exactly is a Yarat? Well, it's a place of worship. To be more specific, it's a shrine

01:21dedicated to a saintly figure or a place where they're buried. Now, there's a lot of these shrines

01:26in Pakistan. Some of them date back hundreds of years and there are very tourist attractions because

01:32they showcase the diverse cultures and religions that exist within Pakistan. So well, Yarat means

01:38visit orto visits. So basically, people visit the shrines to pay their respects or seek blessings

01:44from a saintly figure. They might also come to the shrine to commemorate a special occasion or ask

01:50for help during tough times. Some of these shrines have become famous for being able to grant wishes

01:56and miracles have been reported at these shrines. As a result, it's common to see people living in

02:02such as a shrine, such as flowers, incense, food, or even money. So how did these shrines come about?

02:09Well, let's look at these ones specifically. It's dedicated to a man named Baba Gungdi.

02:15He lived in the 19th century and was considered a spiritual leader in the Miracle Week.

02:21The shrine was built at his burial site and now those unsub pilgrims visit every year. Now, keep in mind

02:28that there are many different types of shrines throughout Pakistan. Some are grand and deliberate

02:33while others are humble and done assuming. No matter what they look like, though. They all set

02:39the same purpose to provide a place for people to connect with their faith and seek blessings.

02:44So why can't long Muslims go inside? Well, that's probably because of this guy. His name is K.H. Oaxacaizer

02:52and he's considered the gatekeeper of the shrine. He's dressed in green robes and is often

02:57seen holding us for a sword, according to legend. It was a companion of Prophet Muhammad and was

03:03the street protecting the shrine. Some believe that he is the spirit of the shrine and that he appears

03:09to those who are pure of heart. And let me tell you, it doesn't seem too happy to see us here. If you

03:15don't believe me, check out this story. Back in 2016, two men snuck into the premises. One of them was

03:22Danish as is. A famous Pakistani actor. He posted pictures of himself on social media and kept

03:28shandite at the end of the day, we all belong to one nation. You could say that he was flexing his

03:34secular muscles. Maybe he wanted to show everyone that he wasn't afraid of such shrines cares. Or maybe

03:41he just didn't know nivete. Whatever the reason. He soon lent his lesson. A few days after posting the

03:48photos, he released another statement saying, I'm deeply sorry for my actions. He never meant to hate

03:54anyone's feelings. He loved my country and my religion and would never do anything to disrespect them.

04:00So next time I'm in Pakistan and feel sure to visit a shrine. Remember the story of Danish

04:07assis and think twice before posting your adventure on Instagram. But wait, there's more. In 2018,

04:14a man named Muhammad Ali posted a video of himself dancing at the shrine. It was latest in charge

04:21with blasphemy. Just goes to show that you really gotta watch your step out here. And if you're

04:26wondering what happens when someone gets kissed by the spirit of the shrine, well, let me tell you,

04:32it's not pretty. According to local legend, seekers brings bedlock and misfortune. Some say it even

04:39results in death. Of course, these stories are just folklore, but they serve as a reminder to

04:44very respectful when visiting religious sites. After all, you never know who or what might

04:49be watching. Although the shrine isn't open to non-Muslims, there's still plenty to see and

04:55experience in Pakistan. For starters, there's the Vaseline city of Karachi, where you can explore

05:01the khalifal bazaars and sample delicious street food. If you're looking for something quieter,

05:06head to Sehansabeli in Sekarakoran mountains. Here you can trek through standing landscapes and stay

05:12in a traditional village, no matter what you choose to do. You're sure to experience the warmth and

05:18hospitality of the Pakistani people. Just remember to be respectful of their customs and traditions,

05:24and you'll have a great time. So what do you think? Would you ever visit a shrine in Pakistan?

05:31Let me know in the comments below.
