Shah said the corridor could be built in Umarkot and Nagarparkar. Umarkot is home to Shri Shiv Mandir, considered one of the oldest Hindu temples in Sindh. Some people believe it was constructed more than 2,000 years ago. There are also numerous abandoned Jain temples in Nagarparkar, which has a large Hindu population. There are scores of Hindus and Jains who want to visit the religious sites in Sindh. Hindus form the biggest minority community in Pakistan. According to official estimates, 75 lakh Hindus live in Pakistan. Pakistan has some prominent Hindu temples including Param Hans Ji Maharaj Samadhi (Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa), Hinglaj Mata Mandir in Hingol National Park of Balochistan’s district Lasbela, Katas Raj complex in Punjab’s district Chakwal and Prahlad Bhagat Mandir in Punjab’s district Multan.
