Lord Jhulelal : An Analytical Study of Sindhi Community and Rituals

If we go back and trace the history of the Sindh culture, we will come across the era of the Indus Valley Civilization, one of the oldest civilizations. Since the Sindh region is located along the Indus River (also known as the Sindhu River) and the Arabian Sea, the Sindhi people became skilled traders. Before partition, the Sindh province embraced major parts of the Punjab (Pakistan), Kutch, Kathiawar, and western parts of India. During the Indus Valley Civilization, a similar civilization called “Harappan” grew along the Indus and Sarasvati rivers. However, around the year 1700 BC, a decline took place in both civilizations. The reason is believed to be the disappearance of the Sarasvati River and many disturbances occurring in the Indus River (floods). People faced many losses in their trading businesses. Subsequently, the civilizations met a dead end.

According to the regional texts the king of ancient India, Mahabali defeated the gods to rule three worlds. Kerala flourished under the rule of Mahabali which made the gods quite insecure because of the popularity of Mahabali. Gods reached out to Lord Vishnu for help, and Vishnu turned into a short Brahman asking the ruler for three steps. Mahabali accepted the request even when his guru warned him about the god's plan, and soon the Vaman avatar of Vishnu turned almost as big as the three worlds. He covered the earth in one step, heaven in another and as there was no space left for his third step Mahabali offered his head to Vishnu portraying his true devotion. Vishnu granted Mahabali a boon in that he could visit his land once a year. That is why Onam is celebrated yearly to celebrate the homecoming of their generous and hearty king Mahabali.
