🏛 Sindhi Heritage

Who Are Sindhis?

Who Are Sindhis?

Traditionally, our elders described Sindhis as natives of Sindh. However, with the passage of time, the Sindhi community has spread across the globe and become citizens of various countries — making the idea of being confined to one region no longer relevant.

Sindhis are a vibrant Hindu community, deeply devoted to Lord Jhulelal, revered as the community's divine protector and guide.

The Seven Popular Names of Lord Jhulelal

Through centuries of devotion, Jhulelal has become the “Asht Dev” (Community Deity) of Sindhis. His birth is celebrated as Cheti Chand, observed on the second day (Dwitiya) of the Chaitra month. Cheti Chand is marked by worldwide celebrations, filled with cultural pride, music, and community bonding.

A Legacy Rooted in Civilization

Sindhis are the descendants of one of the oldest and most sophisticated civilizations — the Indus Valley Civilization, evident through archaeological wonders like Mohenjo-daro and Harappa.

Yet today, many younger Sindhis, especially under the age of 30, may struggle to pronounce certain traditional Sindhi words. This highlights the importance of preserving and passing on our rich linguistic and cultural heritage.
