Sadh Belo (Sindhi: ساڌ ٻيلو, Urdu: سادھ بھيلو), also spelt as Sadh Bela[1], or Sat, is an island in the Indus River near Sukkur, Sindh, Pakistan that is famous for its highly revered Hindu temples.[2] The temples are associated with the syncretic Udasi movement of Sikhism.[3] The island is famous for Teerath Asthan which is the biggest Hindu temple in Pakistan. 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.[4]
