Sindh is a province in southeastern Pakistan. Sindh is essentially a part of the Indus River delta and has derived its name from that river, which in Pakistan is known as the Sindhu.

The present-day area of the province of Sindh was the center of the ancient Indus valley civilization as represented by the sites of Mohenjo-daro, Amre, and Kot Diji.
