Pakistan holds a significant, if lesser known, collection of Hindu temples and pilgrimage sites, reflecting communities and traditions with roots stretching back centuries before Partition.
Katas Raj Temples: The most historically significant Hindu site in Pakistan, this Punjab temple complex centres on a sacred pond said to have formed from Shiva's tears, still an active pilgrimage destination today, with restoration work completed from 2006 onward.
Hinglaj Mata Mandir: Located within Hingol National Park in Balochistan, this is one of the most significant Hindu pilgrimage sites in Pakistan, drawing tens of thousands of pilgrims each spring despite its remote desert setting.
Sadhu Bela: A Hindu temple complex on an island in the Indus River near Sukkur, reachable by boat, a genuine reflection of Sindh's religious diversity and continued Hindu presence.
Why Sindh holds most of Pakistan's living Hindu community: Unlike Punjab, where most Hindus left after 1947, Sindh retained a significant Hindu population, meaning its temples generally remain active places of worship rather than purely historical sites.
Visiting etiquette: Modest dress is expected at all active temples; photography is generally acceptable in courtyards, though always be respectful during active worship or festival periods.
