It may be mentioned here tens of thousand devotees of Hazrat Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai come every year from different parts of the country and abroad to pay homage to great sufi-saint, whose poetry played a key role in spreading mysticism in the world community.

Besides different programmes, organised every year by Sindh government as well as district administration Matiari, the devotees of the mazar have their own arrangements of organising different events including the raga, based on his poetry.

In his poetry, Hazrat Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai preached the message of love, peace and affection irrespective of any creed or caste.
