Sadh Belo

The complex has eight other temples, a library, dining areas, a huge garden, along with rooms and residences for monks and people who want to stay on the island on a spiritual retreat.

[9] Baba Bankhandi Maharaj (born as Balchand Sharma[10]), a 15-year-old spiritual seeker, whose origins were reportedly either from Kero Khetar near Delhi, or Nepal, arrived in Sindh in 1823, in the town of Sukkur, which was then a major trading hub for the Subcontinent.

[15][16] One of the unique feature about Sadhu Belo is that many prayers and texts are written here in Sindhi, the language of the Sindh province in Pakistan.

But members of the family still travel once a year to Pakistan to officially open and attend the fair, as symbolic keepers of the temple complex.

[12] Currently, Sadh Belo is under the custody of Evacuee Trust Property Board and is managed well, but the absence of the former administration of Udasi mahants is felt immensely.

The shrine features intricate marble work.
