Koh-I-Murad is a mountain shrine where members of the Zikri sect congregate on the 27th of Ramadan and perform their pilgrimage. Religious fundamentalists, who all belong outside of Mekran want to ban them from congregating. Most Baloch have no issue with them so so far they remain protected.
The gate leads to the small mountain or mound.
