Geography
Sadh Belo is an island downstream of Bukkur island and separated from it by a short stretch of river. The island with its two inlets, Sadh Belo and Din Belo, is shown on the official map of 1893-4; in 1912 it was accurately surveyed on the orders of the Collector.
Demography
Sindhi are settled in Sadh Belo and the surrounding countryside. The majority of the population is Muslim with a significant Hindu minority.
Hindu temple
There is a Hindu temple on the island, founded in 1823 by Swami Bakhandi Maharaj Udasi; the gaily-painted buildings are, however, more or less modern. The place is held in high esteem by Hindus throughout Sindh and even in India, occasionally attracting pilgrims from across the border.
