Veernaath temple is situated around 20 kilometers away in southern side of Khipro. The area is called Ratokot. This temple is said to be 1000 years old, however, beauty of this temple still attracts. It is a Jain religion’s temple, Veernath was the founder of temple. He was a Nath Jogi community. He converted several people to Nathism school of thoght.The full name of this temple is “Shiri Vernath Ratokot Mathh”. It is also called as Marrhi. Marhi is a place where followers of Veer Nath worship, while term Math is used for place of worship of Naga Naths. The Marrhi is believed to have been established Veer Nath himself who came from Haryana, now in India, later he settled in Umerkot, a place located 70 kilometers away in south-west of Marhi.

A researcher says, Some interviews were also carried out with members of the Charan, Sodha and Maghanhar castes of Umarkot, Kharerio Charan, Chhor, Pabuhar and Densi. Both in-depth and focussed interviews were undertaken to acquire knowledge about the history, role and rituals of the Veer Nath sect of Nath Jogis. As well, all of the samädhis, shrines, temples and marhis that were associated with the Veernathi Sampräday were visited.

Temples and dhünis of world-renouncers (Nath Jogis, Tyagis, Sannyâsîs, Bairâgîs, Sâdhüs, Babas and Udhâsîs) exist in almost every important town and village of Sindh. At present, very few towns and villages in Sindh boast of such temples, maths (also called matha) marhis and dhünis of Hindu and Sikh ascetics. Among such temples, marhis and dhünis, the marhi of Veer Nath at Rato Kot, which is located about 70 km north-east of Umarkot, is quite prominent.

Hundreds of years ago Ratokot was the part of Amar Sodha kingdom. There are several marhees (temples) in different parts of Sindh, Ratokot means red fort. Now, there are ruins of Ratokot but the temple is still there. Sindh was considered as stronghold of Naths. The ruler of Ratokot Veeso Sodho took Veer Nath to his town and built a temple for him. Spread on eight acres, it has now become an attractive place for tourists, researchers and Saadhu. This temple is very famous and Hindu religious people visit for Yatra. There are four deities in this temple, Veernath, Bholenaath, Kirshnadevi and Kaanha. Here Veernath is leader of other Naths as the temple is named after his name.

The architecture of this temple is very beautiful worth visiting for lovers of culture and history. Every year Veernath festival is celebrated to thank god. It is one night carnival where they sings the bhujans. Hindu believers travel from across the country to reach this worship place and pay homage to this temple. They revised their custom and civilization. Another shrine of Veernath is Pir pithoro in western side from this temple. The temple is also mentioned in Hindu religious books. The Naths were mentioned in several historical accounts and Sufi poets. Shiri Veernath Guru is spiritual the "Pir" of Hindus.

          The Rajputs used to come here to manage, support the temple and the expenses. Here are graves of ancestors of Rajputs. According to their pandit, "The government doesn't support this temple, due to the lack of security gold was stolen from this temple and haven't been recovered yet".

Ratokot was a famous where a number of temples were built but the temple of Veernath was very famous at that time. Naths were the specials for Sodhas. Here is the other Nath is Gorakh Nath which is identified with Shiva located in Dadu district. The Nath was the vital community for Sodhas and people of state because Naths taught proper. Their teaching was strongly associated with perfection of body. It simply defined they were Master of yogic power.
