Agham Kot (Sindhi: اگھم ڪوٽ), historically known as Agham and today also called Aghamani or Aghamano, is a historical city and present-day ruin site located in Badin District, Sindh, Pakistan. It is located about 1.5 km northwest of the current town of Ghulab Khan Laghari, near the border with Hyderabad District. Agham Kot was founded in early decades of 7th century and is named after its founder Agham Lohana, Governor of region from Lohana community Agham Kot historically lay on the right bank of the Dhoro, a branch of the Indus River that is now dried up. Because of this strategic location on an important waterway, Agham Kot was an important commercial centre in its heyday.
Today, the site of Agham Kot consists of several mounds that rise 3-5 m above the surrounding farmland and are spread across an area of 200 acres. Some of these mounds are crowned with old mosques or tombs, which are all in poor condition. Some tombs belong to Sufi saints and draw pilgrims from throughout Sindh. Only a small portion of the city's old fort is still standing.
