    History


    Piryaloi, formerly called Piryanloi, means "land of the beloved" in Sindhi. The town came to be called so after Syed Saleh Shah Bukhari Naqvi, a 17th-century dervish inhabited this place and the people of the surrounding area, out of love for this pious man, called his abode Piryan (beloved) + Loi (place).
    Piryaloi is a predominantly agrarian town, where the main source of income is based on agricultural products. Date palms and mangoes are among the major products of the region.
