Abstract
Udasipanth, though originated in Punjab but was brought to Sindh by Sri Chand and other Udasi saints making it one of the important religious traditions in Sindhi devotional system. It is a unique, heterodox and very inclusive tradition that blends elements from Vedanta, Sikhism, Nathism and other local orders and cults. This paper discusses how Udasipanth originated and then developed in Sindh by also imbibing regional and local influences and thus became ‘indigenized’. It also highlights various dimensions and aspects of Udasipanth like Sri Chand’s visit to Sindh, his portrayal as ‘savior’, various Udasi establishments, renowned Udasi saints and contemporary rituals and practices.
