The joint arrangement was devised as a compromise to stem any conflict that might arise regarding the final religious rites for the corpse.

On the appearance of the new moon, Hindus light lamps and worship the shrine deity, an avatar of Varuna[6] at the nearby river, or other water bodies, with rice, sugar-candy, spices and fruits.

According to Hindu tradition, a tyrannical ruler named Mirkh Shah from nearby Thatta ordered that local Hindus convert to Islam within 24 hours.

Local Hindus, fearful of this edict, prayed at the banks of the Indus River, where they then saw a vision of the Hindu deity Varuna who informed the worshippers that he would re-incarnate himself as an infant to be born in Naserpur in order to deliver them from their hardships.

When Ahirio caught sight of Jhulelal for a second time, he was startled to see that the infant had grown into an elderly man.

The king escaped to the banks of the river, where he found Jhulelal, now again a warrior, and his Hindu followers protected from the firestorm.

[8] Jhulelal is also believed by Sindhi Hindus to have performed miracles, such as entering the Indus river at Nasirpur, and coming up at Bukkur, at the northernmost extent of Sindh.
