Chaliha Mandir

The Chaliha is an important festival celebrated by the Sindhi's wherein they pray to their God, Jhulelal. A special ‘jyot’ is believed to have protected the Sindhi people and their culture during the ancient times, from around 1897 AD, was brought from the Puj Chaliha sahib Mandir Peergoath in Sindh by the Sindhi's to India during partition in 1947.

This Akhand jyot was then placed in the Chaliha Sahib Puj Jhulelal Mandir in Ulhasnagar (Since when??). To this date, the jyot is kept lit in a structure similar to the one in Sindh. It is here that Sindhis from all over the country come to worship Lord Jhulelal and offer their prayers during the festival. It is customary to go on a 40 day fast during the festival.
