This is the Royal Graveyard of Abbasi family, the Nawabs that ruled Bahwalpur State from 1723 to 1955. There is one large size rectangular room that contains the graves of all the 12 Nawabs that ruled the Bahawalpur State. It also includes the grave of Nawab after 1966 who held the honorary title after merger of the state with Pakistan.
Other than the main rectangular tomb, there are many single tombs that belong to wives and brother / sisters of Nawabs. These tombs display great architectural beauty. Most of them are the typical blue paintwork that is typical of Sind and South Punjab architecture. Few are also in white marble and few in burnt brick.

The calligraphy, engraving, glass work, patch work and patterns done on various graves, tombs and walls is simply outstanding and a great work of art. The graveyard is the private property of Abbasi family and one needs permission to enter the graveyard. Generally, the caretakers do not allow the visitors to see the graveyard so prior coordination will facilitate the things.

Abbasi Mosque is located close to Derawar Fort in Yazman Tehsil, within the Cholistan Desert in Bahawalpur District, Punjab province of Pakistan.
