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 dervish of 17th century, 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 predominantly an agrarian town, where the main source of income of people is based on agricultural products. Date palms and mangoes are among the major products of the region.
