The Bhutto family mausoleum is situated at Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, in Larkana District, Sindh, Pakistan. The mazar contains the graves of the Bhutto family, and is the burial place of Zulfikar, Murtaza, Shahnawaz, Nusrat,[1] and Benazir Bhutto.[2][3]

Every year on the anniversary of Benazir Bhutto's death, large crowds gather at the site.[4] The Shaheed Bhutto Mazar Committee oversees the arrangements of public gatherings at the venue.[5]
