Umerkot District, Administrative district in Mirpur Khas Division, Pakistan.
Umerkot District is an administrative region in Sindh province that encompasses several areas organized into four local administrative divisions. Each division has its own center and serves rural villages and smaller urban settlements throughout the region.
The district gained prominence in the 16th century when a Mughal emperor was born there while his father sought refuge from rival rulers. This event made Umerkot an important location in Mughal history.
The Umarkot Shiv Mandir temple attracts 250,000 participants during the annual Maha Shivratri celebration, reflecting the district's strong Hindu presence.
The district is accessible from various larger cities and has several schools and educational institutions that visitors can explore. The best time to visit is during the drier months when roads are in better condition.
Umerkot stands as the sole district in Pakistan with a Hindu majority population, representing 54.6 percent of its total inhabitants.
