Hundreds of thousands of visitors of all religions go to the marble-domed mausoleum each year seeking blessings or peace of mind.

Benazir, a two time prime minister of Pakistan who now lives in exile in London and Dubai, last visited the shrine three years ago, reports said.

She will visit Jaipur, capital of Rajasthan, before returning to New Delhi late Sunday and leaving for Dubai, officials said.
