Mokhi and Matara (The Barmaid and Bachhana; Sindhi: موکي ۽ متارا‎) is famous story of a Barmaid, "Mokhi", who unwillingly served the poisonous "Mandh" (wine) to the Matara, eight young stout men who visited her Tavern and died after drinking heavily from the goblet. These Mataras (Devotees of Bachhus) belonged to Channa, Chauhan, Samma and Soomra tribes who were the notables of Sari in the Kohistan area of Sindh. Their tombs are still to be found at the foothill of Narathar in Gadap tehsil of Karachi.^[1]
