Pir Ghaib is known as The Invisible Saint. Pir Ghaib Waterfalls are waterfalls situated in the Bolan Valley, 70 kilometres from Quetta, in Balochistan, Pakistan. Here a waterfall cascades down rocky mountain side making its way through many streams and ponds among the shady palm trees.
History
Pir Ghaib and his sister, Bibi Nani, arrived here to convert the locals in the early days of Islam. The locals sent army after them and the siblings split; Bibi Nani went down the gorge while her brother fled into this arid landscape. At the head of the gorge, seeing that he was blocked by the rock wall, the saint prayed to almighty to be rescued. He cleaved the rock to receive the holy man. So, he was known as Pir Ghaib – The Invisible Saint.
Local Hindus worship Pir Ghaib as Mahadev. The travellers and traders from the Indus Valley would have stopped at this spring sacred to their own gods on the first leg of their long journey to Mesopotamian marts. As the Vedic God Shivaderives from an earlier Indus Valley deity, and as the 5000 year old goddess Nania evolves into Bibi Nani or Durga, so too did the Pir Ghaib develop from an early Indus Valley god.
