Sri Sadh Bella Tirath, SUKKUR

Downstream from the island of Bukkur, and separated from it by a short stretch of river, is the pretty little island of Sat or Sadh Belo. On it is a Hindu religious establishment found in AD 1823 by Swami Bakhandi Maharaj Udasi; the gaily-painted buildings are, however, more or less modern. The island is held in high esteem by Hindus throughout Sindh and even in India. The island has two inlets, Sadh Belo and Din Belo and hence the name of the holy place. It is reached by boat from the Sukkur Bund. It is also one of the few Hindu temples where all castes are served food simultaneously. Following Sindhi Hindu practice, the Granth Sahib, or Sikh holy book is revered here as well.
